Hello,
So I just finished building a new gaming computer earlier this week, and after installing and running a couple games, I'm getting some strange results. For high end games, like Modern Warfare 2, it's performing great. But when I went to play WoW, I get really low FPS despite how I change in game settings. It is playing even worse than my old computer was, which was out of date by about 2 years. Even things like browsing in Firefox seems to have some hiccups every now and then, like the entire program freezes for just a second, but it happens about 1 in 5 pages that I visit.
I made some minor changes in the BIOS, like setting the video to PCIexpress instead of default PCI, and all of the drivers are there, but I can't figure out why the performance seems to come up short. Any ideas?
Edit: Almost forgot, I got a blue screen while closing a program yesterday, a 0A stop error. Not quite sure what it means though.
Specs are:
EVGA 1366 intel x58 SLI LE
Core i7-920 2.66GHz
EVGA GeForce GTX 275 896MB
OCZ 6gb (3x2gb) 1600mhz DDR3
WD Caviar Black 1TB
running on Windows 7 64 bit
Let me know if you need more information, I'll give what I can.
