Hi all

Having problems with audio and frame rate when running flash videos and some games in full screen.. The audio is distorted and the video hangs..

Never come across this before..

Any ideas?
 
What's your CPU usage when running such games and applications ? Check to see any werid and nasty processes in task manager (Y)

Run ur virus stuff (malwarebytes, superanti spyware, spy bot s&d, comodo, so onn..)

Clean ur registry too? Ccleaner

If your on a desktop, reseat a few cards and ram modules to be on the safe side

Just a few basic thoughts to start on.
 
CPU usage is normal, between 10 and 20% for flash video and 30-50% for MW2.

Run mbam, avast, cleaned my registry and physically dusted and reseated various bits on the mobo.

Can't figure it. First I thought it was a flash ****up from adobe, but then why would proper games be affected.. Then directx.. but <<-vice versa flash.. Went through my installed programs with ccleaner, this started about a fortnight ago so I thumbed through anything I might have downloaded that's buggered the audio codecs or changed video settings.. nada.

Spec is as follows:
4 year old..
E8400
DS3r mobo
4gb corsair ram (DHX 6400)
8800gts

(all needs replacing, but i'm a postgrad student, i'll go i7 when i get a job! :D)
