Ok well i took this comp into a shop two n a bit weeks back, they had it for two weeks and they came up with nothing.... they put a top end dual core in the machine to see if the cpu was the problem and it still only brought the framerate to around 17 which on the specs it should of been high 80's or more..... realy confused by this now.......
