Cdizzle Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 You also want to make sure that your processor is capable of handling a fast video card, you get too much speed with your card, and not enough speed to back the card power from the processor or ram, then you get a bottle neck, slowing down your computer...

David Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 deffinitly sounds like a bottle neck or lack of ram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdizzle Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Try sending your processor back down to 2.5 see if that helps... Quote Damn Thiefs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdizzle Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 You got a big enough PSU? Are both sticks of RAM the same? Quote Damn Thiefs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdizzle Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 (edited) If your RAM is different types, then it is hard to over clock your cpu. When you overclock your CPU you over clock your ram, and if your ram isnt capable of running at those speeds then slower speeds happen, and you could damage something. I had 2 gigs in this computer, and tried to over clock (2 sticks were the same, and then I had a different pair of 512's in here), needless to say I ripped out the older 512's and it OC's perfectly now. Sounds like a power, or over heating issue... shit slows down when it over heats... Also, PSU's are responsible for 13% or computer freeze ups, so make sure you getting enough juice to that BEAST!

no0b4lif3 Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 when i got a new video card, and a bigger stick of ram, i had to buy a power supply to put out enuff power for the video card... after i had to piss around with disabling the on-board video, it made a HUGE difference, my computer is an older p.o.s. emachines, and couldnt even handle some of the cheaper games, but afterwards, it handled them a lot better...
