Plz can you help. Desperiatly needed.

Thanks

p.s on Counter Strike source i get a fps of 8 - 25 and it shows how laggy it gets.

Get speedfan from the downloads section and use it to monitor temperatures.
What psu are you using and what wattage is it?

have you updated all relevant drivers?
have you tried defrag and chkdisk /f as well?

ok wll i ain't sure what it is but i got this from the back of my pc

AC Input: 220-230Vac 4A 50- 60 Hhz
DC Output 2Vac 0.8A

It's a Packard Bell psu

Is it a packard bell pc then?

I have got the updated Drivers for eerything but i ain't defraged my PC or chkdisk i will try that.

Yes till the packard bell motherboard stop working for me and Everything was fine before i had to get a new Motherboard

ok i have run the chkdisk it didn't make any difference. I do not see how defragmenting fixes the problem. Could it be of my Power supply??? or Graphics Card Even Plz help.

A heavily fragmented hard drive can cause slowdowns, give it a try, you have nothing to loose!!!!!!

Have you run antivirus and antispyware scans recently? if so, with what software?

I have Got Zonealarm Security Suite and i will run the defragment now.

What about antivirus and antispyware software????

thats got a antivirus and antispyware and firewall in it. Sorry i'm not trying to sound annoyed i need this problem fixed and the defragment is nearly finished.

Ok i finished Defragmenting my Hard drive but it still hasn't made any differeance.

Did you try getting speedfan to monitor your system with?

What GPU do you have?

Yess i downloaded Speedfan, the clock tab does not show my motherboard make...

Sorry what do you mean by GPU? i neer hear anything of that unless you are refering to my graphics card?

If so it is A G-Force 6600 256mb ddr agp8x

I dunno looking at the speed fan it is giving me high tempertures, here is a screenshot i have hosted http://axeman.stforce.org/screeny/speedfan.JPG

Dunno if this may be the answer but my over motherboard might of overheated too much to fry itself and i don't want the same thing to happen. I am just wondering if it could be the Powersupply i mean it is old it been on everyday since i got this PC (lame i know) tell me what you think do i need to get a new Power supply??

The temps are a little on the high side, a better cpu heatsink and fan may be a good idea!!!
I was also gonna say that the poor old packard bell psu is probably not up to the job too, its probably only something like 230watts at best!!!!

hmm have you got any good heatsinks and fans to do with this the motherboard.

but I was thinking doesn't a too pwoerfully powersupply tend to overheat it. ui don't really wat to get another as it just 2 days old.

Do you mean the psu is 2 days old??
