FPS Help

Hi, I've been having this problem for quite a while now but I didn't pay too much attention as I don't play games a much. Back when I had Vista Home Premium all the games I had played worked like a charm. Until now that I have Windows 7 Home Premium it all went down hill. The games I played worked fine until a few weeks later. My screen went from smooth game play to a photo booth. My screen was as if it was taking pictures every 5 seconds and the animation would change dramatically. Besides this problem, everything else is working fine. I can watch videos that are 2hours long in fine quality so I doubt its my internet. Sorry for the LONG story but I really would like to fix this problem. Windows 7 has really improved but for gaming its terrible for me as it causes my computer to run like a snail.

My computer specs are:

Processor: AMD Phenom 8450 Triple-Core Processor 2.10GHz
RAM: 6.00GB (5.75 GB Usable)
System Type: 64-bit Operating System
GFX Card: NVIDIA GeFORCE 9100
Brand of PC: HP

I wish for step by step help as I am not really experience in fixing computers.

I really need help with this. I don't know much about computers but I do know problems like this never happened to me on Vista. Please can anyone help with this? I really do want to play online games without having my FPS drop down dramatically. =[

Scanned your computer for trojans etc?

I tried everything. Still no luck. I really need help with this.


Also could you explain this?
Kill McAffee - use a removal too if available and switch to Microsoft Security Essentials. Then use HWInfo32 to monitor and post your temps - is this a laptop or desktop? Uninstall any system cleaners or similar performance apps.


Im not really experienced when to comes to this stuff =(

Two threads on different forums with the same or similar computer/specs,

geforce 9100 sudden FPS drop - NVIDIA Forums

[SOLVED] Nvidia GeForce 9100 Issues - Tech Support Forum

one common thing in both besides the specs, the solution was to clean the dust out of the computer/heat sink. might be a good idea to pop the side off and have a look, if things are clogged up with dust then a good cleaning should solve the problem.

Sounds like my post - however what games are you trying to play? Your specs are not exactly very high. Additional info is in the troubleshooting guide in my sig - go through it.
