And pretty much my comp runs shit now, i really need this fixed.

Restart maybe?

Or do a defrag, or just let your computer think about what it has done for a day, and it may feel bad and decide to work correctly.

when i restart it goes fine and then odse the same thing,... after like 10 mins or so it fucks up grrrrrr
i reinstalled mxs deleted all files then installed it all again and that didnt work.

Could it be a driver or somthim?

Maybe you have a stuck cooling fan. After 10 minutes it would start to get hot.

JLV your most probly right btu would it slow it down? or is apart of the computer so it dont over heat?

Bingo. if you cooling fan was stuck then it would begin to overheat causing computer issues. After 5-10 minutes see if you can hear an increase in fan speed. you should be able to hear it go from brmmmmmm to BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

It depends on the CPU. Some will underclock themselves to keep cool while others will just fry.

[Mikey]

so it could be permanitlly slow. should i like let it cool down heaps or like move it somewhere where it has more air

try taking you case off and spraying some canned air on your fans and blow the dust off of them. Just don't hit anything else.

[Mikey]

thanks ill deffinattly try but its more my MXS thats really laggy and slow i dunno could it be like drivers and that stuffs?

turn vsync of in your video card properties. I had to do that when I got it.

[Mikey]

sorry for being such a noob, but how do u find that?

[DJ99X]

If you do spray your fans, put a pencil or something in it, so the fans don't spin. If the fans spin, it will generate a back current, whick can cause damage to your motherboard

[Mikey]

wow you guys are so smart... What about RAM could that be it?

[VMX_SKYmx99]

To turn off v-sync it depends on your gfx card. I run Nvidia so I am not sure how to do it for ATI cards.

Nvidia Control panel

3d settings

Advanced

You should see a stack of things listed there like AA - AF etc - scroll down and you will come to Vertical Sync - ON - click that on part and a drop down box opens and turn it off - then apply.
