Don't know if this is the right section for this but oh well...
When I start up a game the cpu boosts up to 100% almost instantly. The game runs smoothly for this first 5 minutes. Then it freezes for about 30 seconds. And the time that game runs smoothly decreases after some time and the game freezes longer and longer.
It hasn't really bothered me since I didn't game on my PC anymore. But now my PS2 decided to mess up... So I took some time to attempt and fix my PC. I removed almost 7gigs of crap from my hard-drive. Scanned it for viruses and ad/spyware (with norton, spybot S&D, and some online scanners).
No viruses but a lot of ad and spy stuff. Then I cleaned up my registry with Registry Mechanic (v5 I think). It found about 1500 problems and fixed all of them. Then I defragmented my hard-drive.
But none of that fixed the slowing down . So I was wondering what could be causing this...
My PC:
Windows XP home edition with sp2
Pentium 4 1,7 GHz
256 MB RAM
nVidia GeForece 2 mx 100/200
I think that those specs should be good enough to play age of empires 2 and morrowind...
Any help is much appreciated
