OS Service Pack Service Pack 2
DirectX 4.09.00.0904 (DirectX 9.0c)
Computer Name OWNER-6UGY6VB5Y
User Name Owner

Motherboard:
CPU Type Intel Pentium 4, 3200 MHz (16 x 200)

no you should be getting more..

Spriggan43 · 10-24-2006, 02:59 PM

What are you using to see the fps its running at?? Update your drivers.. Video,sound,lan,mobo .. Do a spy ware scan and viruses.. Turn off virus scanners when running the games.. Turn off all back ground processes that have nothing to do with the game or windows..

all so what is the system locking up?? may be your power..

depends what game u run in ... shouldnt be that low though. let us know on some more details under what conditions ur system is running what games etc etc etc

The UT engine is renowned for its speed. On a rig like that you should be getting at LEAST 60fps.

L-D-C · 10-25-2006, 12:25 PM

Ok, thnx for the replies.

I play a variety of games, ( UT2004, Doom3, Call of Duty, FEAR) I only really play like COD and now UT2004. Also the gametype is on Onslaught.
My ISP is Aol, which I heard is kinda crappy for gaming. Its also hard to tell which processes I should shut down( Isn't there some sort of program I can use? )

**Fr4665** · 10-26-2006, 02:13 AM

on ut2k4 u should be getting around 100fps minimum i think or somewhere around there.

do you have AOL broadband or Dialup ? download some drivers from nvidia (84.21 first if that doesnt help the newer ones) also download fraps a free FPS monitoring program so u can see the actual FPS in the game and possibly detect lag or drops.

L-D-C · 10-26-2006, 01:52 PM

Yeah I have fraps I have the same fps. 84.21 are older drivers aren't they, where can I get em I looked on the Nvidia site and couln't find them.
I have Broadband 1/2 meg connection

L-D-C · 10-26-2006, 03:13 PM

Ok I tried that driver and it didn't help, I put it in 800x600 or w/e it is and it's still the same. What was that thing someone said about a power problem?

**Fr4665** · 10-27-2006, 02:25 AM

i dont think it is a powerproblem. do other games run fine ? what is the agp speed and aperature size set to in the bios ?

This was never really resolved so it might still be the problem, what you need to do is go Start> Run> type "msconfig">OK...then got to the "startup" tab (far right).
Anything that you deem to be non essential i.e. not critical windows functions can be switched off, so basically, any third party software you have installed that might be loading itself during startup.

Ok, I checked in my msconfig and disabled all unnessesary stuff. I play a few other games that run fairly well, but not as good as they used to run. I don't know the AGP or the aprature size or w/e. Could it be the temperature of the CPU or GPU? When i'm playing UT2004 ( Onslaught ) the CPU is @ 60*C and the GPU is @ 59-61*C
