I've recently been playing a few games on my computer but they're beginning to lag quite badly, which they never used to do. Games like Assassins creed and Rainbow 6 vegas. They still lag the same even if the graphics are lowest.

I actually wiped my computer because of it and the error still occurs. So I'm guessing either hardware or Driver problems, I've been playing it with and without other processes so I doubt it has anything to do with CPU.

System Specs

OS - Windows XP Home - SP2
DirectX - 9.0
Power: 700w
HD: 150GB (50GB used)
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6400+, MMX, 3DNow (2 CPUs), ~3.2GHz
Memory: 2048MB RAM
Graphics Card:ATI Radeon X1950 Pro

Things I've tried
Wiping computer.
Clearing registry.
Playing with only the essential processes.
Upgrading all drivers.
Playing with all graphics on lowest.
Testing with multiple games.
Praying.

Thanks in advance for any help given. It's torture trying to play laggy games.
