Author Topic: Computer ain't runnin' dem games the way it should  (Read 693 times)

Until about two days ago I could run MW2 with upwards of 150 fps. Now I get around 40-60. I have no idea why this is happening, but it's not just MW2, that's just the game I'm the most frustrated about being unable to play properly. I am using a laptop, I'm not sure if that means anything. The only things I remember installing the day/ day before my problems started are RelevantKnowledge( spyware I deleted and Hamachi (also deleted). If you want to post something about how this isn't a computer support forum then please direct me to a better place to post my problem. I've been a member of these forums for a while and I think most of the people here are quite intelligent.

Have you checked if any programs are hogging your CPU and if any new ones suddenly boot up with your PC?

The heaviest user is Steam.


I've run scans and done defrags and registry cleanups.


For some reason I have no restore points, which is strange because I thought they were made automatically.
