Hi,
Can someone please help me with a problem I have had for quite some time now.
This is my computer specs

Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 Motherboard.
Intel core i7 920 D0 Stepping CPU
Corsair 6gb (3x2gb) 2,000MHz Memory
2 x Western Digital Velociraptor 150GB 10,000rpm Hard Drive and 1x 300GB Western Digital Velociraptor
CoolerMaster Real Power 1250w Power Supply
Cooler Master V10 Hybrid TEC Cooler

I built this computer to run Flight Simulator FSX and the problem started from day one with the frame rates stuttering slightly and as time has gone on it has just got worse to the extent that now it some time's just freezes altogether and I finish up having to turn the computer off altogether and then re-booting, it has got that bad that it is almost unusable.
I know my computer is set up properly and I know there is no problems with the flight sim, I have been on the flight sim forums but nothing there seems to help.
I am convinced there is something wrong with the hard ware either the processor or the memory, when I bought the memory it had just come out onto the market and not long after it's launch it was recalled due to a problem with the chip, however I did purchase mine after the relaunch.
If anyone knows what it could be I would appreciate any help.
Thanks and kind regards Kevin.
 
You should install an antivirus software and scan for any virus as this can cause a system to run very slow and reduce the performance in games.You should also consider reinstalling the OS.
 
What graphics card and operating system are you running out of interest? Also, is your PC overclocked and your RAM running at the specified speed/voltage?

Also, if you haven't already - you should stress test your CPU and GPU using OCCT and Furmark. This should highlight if you have any problems on that end.

Edit: I just saw your previous thread, so GTX 285 and Windows 7. These should certainly be up to the task if they are working correctly. Are you using the 64bit version of windows?

well its not going to be lack of power! id stress test everything to see if its hardwear, memtest, prime etc etc. then i guess onto drivers.
