Fallschirmjager -> *sigh* I hate my PC (9/2/2003 7:32:39 AM)

Some of you may remember my problem of my PC slowing down to unplayable framrate on 3-D games


Well....the problem hasnt gotten any better
And it makes my best system all but unusable for gaming


I have no idea what the problem is and have tried anything and am unable to fix the problem

This problem is really annoying and means I cant play games on this system anymore

Fallschirmjager:

I feel your pain.

A few years ago I was having real problems with my PC. It would crash; I would get the blue screen of death, etc.

I kept having to take it back to the shop where I had it made, but all their efforts seemed to come to naught.

I was one frustrated gamer :mad:

Then one weekend my PC started acting up again, I called the shop, but they said it would be several days before they could see my computer.

So, left with no choice I decided to format my hard drive myself (and we are talking about a real PC novice), then re-install all my hard ware piece by piece.

Well, it took me an entire day. And you know something? I haven't had a problem with my PC since then. That was 3 years ago, and I still have the same PC - a WIN '98, PII 350 (ya, I know, don't laugh).

So, for 3 years I have had a problem-free PC. I haven't formatted my hard drive for 3 years. All I do once a week is run spybot, scan disk, and defrag.

So there is hope. And it may be just around the corner. . .

Cheers!

Try downloading some of the speed tests and benchmarking programmes for your PC to compare with others.

I had this problem on my old PC and the tests showed a poor hard disk performance.

I sold my PC not long after to a freind cheap (he knew all the probs) not long after the hard disk went completely.

If your hard disk aint working properly this will definatly slow your system down. A lot of people forget to look there, but it may be worth a shot.

It's probably the CPU. You need to upgrade every 3 years, to play the latest 3D games.

At Best Buy you can get a PC that will play any game on the market today for a paltry $800.00. If it breaks, just throw it away and go buy another one.

You are going to need a new PC to play "Call of Duty"

That demo is truly amazing.
