I just dont know

I play call of duty 2 regularly. Earlier I was playing and after a map my fps went from 90 to 6 midgame. I removed the fps cap switched from Directx9 to 7 and still nothing. This problem seems to right itself after a restart but thats not something I'm willing to do everytime it starts acting up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, welcome to TSF.
Run through these steps and see if that helps, if not post back here with your full system specs.

Drivers uninstalled and reinstalled, the game uninstalled and reinstalled. I tried to start up the game and in the process of loading a map my computer froze and rebooted all by itself without my pushing reset. So here I go again, rest assured I will be back. AND that didnt help at all. FPS still drops to a single digit number.

Do you have any applications running in the background, as in Virus scanners or anything else?
To find out what loads at startup go Start -> Run -> Type "msconfig" ->then go to the "startup" tab (far right), and see what is running on startup.
If there are a lot of things that you think are unnecessary (not windows functions) then you can switch them off during boot and this may help improve peformance.
