Frequent "slow motion" when running games
We had this computer built at around mid ~ late 2010 with this specs:
- AMD Phenom II X3
- 2 Gb RAM (now at 4 Gb RAM) DDR3
- Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT 1 Gb (now at GeForce GTS 450 2 Gb)
- 300 Gb HDD (now at 500 Gb HDD)
- 500 Watts (now at 700 Watts) PSU
- DVD Optic Drive
Since having built the system unit, it had once issues with its mainboard, HDD, and PSU and thus was replaced while other changes were meant to be an upgrade. Gaming with this specs has been of ease until as of late when frequent slow motions occur whenever I run graphics-intensive games which occurs randomly and lasts for about several seconds up to a minute or so of slow motion. The issue arose after having had replaced the HDD. Since then, slow motions occur whenever I'm gaming graphics-intensive games. One such game where I experiences slow motions is Saint's Row IV. Having had the game option auto-detect the optimized setting for my system specs which was at high and runs at almost, if not, 60 fps smooth minus the frequent slow motions. Also, there are cases when the system hungs when semi- or idle and had to be resetted to work normally again.
As of posting time, installed on this computer is an Nvidia GeForce driver of 320.49 for the graphics card.
Note, also, given the system specifications, it could run games from the present at low ~ mid settings and sometimes at high with smooth frames at 1024x768 default screen resolution of the monitor. Any higher than that cause black screen issues with it.
