Speed Problems

UberCuber · 08-10-2008, 11:01 PM

Ok, in the past, I had a problem with my computer where when I played any game, other than World of Warcraft, one problem I would have is that everything would be sped up, to the point where it's unplayable. Ok, so, I took care of it by using Speed Gear, and slowing it down. So, for a while, it went back to normal, and everything worked fine.

Problem is, a couple weeks later, the same thing comes back again. I tried Speed Gear once again, to no avail.

Anyone got any recommendations?

Hi, welcome to TSF.

Have you tried CPU killer? - http://www.cpukiller.com/

Yeah, I have, I don't think it's been working, but I'll try it out some more. I don't understand it too well either.

What are your system specs?

If you have an AMD dual core CPU, you'll need to download the AMD dual core optimizer from AMD

My Specs are:

AMD Sempron 3400+
1 gig DDR2 RAM
250 gig Seagate hard drive
GeForce 8400 GS video card
GeForce6100SM-M2 Motherboard

What is the memory of your system?
you can send complete details.

Uber, could you list the games that actually run fast?

funkmunky · 08-13-2008, 09:14 AM

Have you disabled the onboard graphics in the bios?

UberCuber · 08-13-2008, 01:17 PM

Ok, the games that run fast are:
Halo, Battlefield 2, Battlefield 1942 Secret Weapons Demo, Unreal Tournement, Half-Life 2, Bauldur's Gate, War Rock, Alien Versus Predator 2 demo, and a few others. Basically, the only game that doesn't do that is World of Warcraft.

As for disabling the onboard graphics in the Bios, I don't know, I think I may have, but just to be sure, I'll check.

And the memory, I don't know what you mean by that, I listed what it is. Granted, I didn't say the speed, which I will go look at.

Sorry if I seem kinda "noob-ish", I know a good amount about computers, but I don't know everything.
