Alright i've had some problems with my gaming, I play Counter-Strike Source, Quake IV, FEAR, and alot of other ****. When my rig was first set up I had no problems everything ran smooth and untouched. But as soon as I downloaded more and more my PC began to break/shutter. Here's my setup.
::HARDWARE SETUP::
A8N-SLI Motherboard
AMD 4000+ Clawhammer core (was overclocked to 2.85ghz constant)
Connect 3D X800GTO unlocked to 16 pipes and overclocked to 520/540 X850 XT speeds
Maxtor 350 Gb IDE Drive
2x512 Crucial Ballistix DDR500 PC4000 RAM
Sound Blaster Xi-Fi Xtreme Music
520 Watt Aspire Blue LED PSU
......If anything else needs to be added on just tell what to post!
Alright down to the problems! When I boot up my pc and get into Windows and press crtl+alt+del and check on my performance tab, my CPU usage starts at 0% for a few seconds and then skyrockets to 60% and shows a full yellow/green bar, then it turns all red (never seen that before) and after that it stays at a constant 57%-72%. And it even hits to 100% for about 5-9 seconds sometimes and even full red bars to the top!
P.S.- By the way i'm running about 47-53 processes.
My PF Usage is fine, 316mb running constant.
*When this problem was first discovered I was playing Counter-Strike 1.6 and noticed after an hour of play or so my fps dropped from constant 100fps to 80fps and down to 60 constant. I thought it was my graphic card because i overclocked it and stuff but it's in my bros comp runnin like a champ. I switched out his card wit mine, his ram of 2 gigs wit my 1gig and even the processors, his was an AMD 3500+ 500cache, but his computer runs smoothly even though my rig is many a times better. When i tried his processor in mine it could actually stay at 0% for a few good seconds then stayed at 35-47% but still jumped to the 100% as well every now and then. My video card worked great in his, vice versa for his in mine, but still had fps droppage in my games. I swapped memory and that did nothing to affect the performance. My processor in his computer was doing terrible compared to his older model processor which usually stayed at 0-7% performance. My processor in his was around the 35%-65% and also showed up with red bars and hit the 100%.
ALSO! I have used different processor coolers, I've used a Thermaltake Volcanoe, then a standard AMD issued with my processor, and now a Gigabyte G-Power Pro. Also my 350 Gb hard drive has 2 partitions, the first is 127Gb with 67.4gb left, the second can hold 148gb but has 132 gb free.
(Drivers or software for a hard drive with anything larger than 128gb is installed!)
PLEASE help me on how to resolve this problem in a easily fashioned MANNER!!! Any tips, hints, or clues are welcome. All I want is my computer to be able to enjoy an easy CPU usage, with smooth hardcore precision gaming as it used to be.
