Computer Problems =(

Onlis · 01-18-2007, 04:55 PM

Hey, Iv'e been having a problem with my computer for a while, and I have no idea how to fix it, so maybe you guys can help me out.
First, heres my specs:
Intel 2.80 GHz, 1 gig ram
XTasy Radeon 9600 Series (256 mb ram)
75 GB Harddrive

So, the problem is that my fps drastically slows down after I start my computer. e.g. I would start my comp, then start WoW, log in to IF and have 70 fps. However, after about 5 minutes of playing, my fps would start dropping fast, and eventually stopping at around 20. I checked for viruses and rootkits, found nothing, so I defragmented, and nothing happened. As a last ditch effort I reformatted my comp, and I still had the problem. Now, I contacted Blizzard, and they said that the only thing wrong could be my Processor Chipset is out of date (recently updated it and still didn't fix my problem), or I have a virus (recently reformatted, so that isnt a problem).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't see anything wrong by your specs for playing WoW

I'd make sure you have nothing running in the background of your comp useing Ctrl+alt+Delete at the same time (I'm sure you know how to do that)

that's the only thing I can think of..
