Ok, so i took my PC i bought apart, put the motherboard in a new, bigger case, stuck my 640W Psu in there, Nvidia 7600 Gt and Creative sound card. Now when i go to play games, ie: BF2, i have the settings on all the way low, and its kinda like playing a game with low Ram or something, keeps lagging every few seconds, i have 4gb of ram. I did not have the disk for the video card, but i did download the latest driver for it, and i have tried many different things and still nothing seems to fix it. Also when i go away i put my PC on standby, when i turn it back on my sound card starts messing up, makes a bunch of screeching noise, only way to get it to stop is to restart. I dont know what the problem is, i keep up with all windows updates and it only came with an intergrated video card, so was nothing to uninstall. Is it possable that my motherboard can not handle the Video card and sound card?


Edit: The game does it even on single player, but on single player is as if i had a bad internet connection trying to play online. My internet is 5mbps i belive.

Did you remember to install drivers?

Yes, i did not have the disk for the Video card. But i did install the latest driver. And i had the disk for the Sound card, and it is updated to the latest driver also. Still same thing happening. The sound i can live it, its the video, or what ever is causing my graphics in games to mess up that is bugging me.

Did you reformat when you got the new motherboard?

Ok, i had my old Alienware, was getting kinda old and i wanted an update. So i went and bought a pre-built Gateway machine. It was almost 700$, came with
AMD 8450 Triple-Core-Processor 2.10GHz
4.00Gb Memory
500GB HD
Windows Vista 64-bit
200W Psu
Integrated video and sound.
19" Widescreen moniter.

I knew the power was not enough to run my Video or sound card, and the case could not fit my 650W Psu i had on hand. So i took everything out of the old case and put it in my Alienware case, added the Video and sound card to it.

Try running BF2.exe on one processor core. Open up the task manager while BF2 is running, go to the processes tab, find BF2.exe, right click, set affinity..., uncheck all but one core

Well, I'm not sure if it applies to the tri core, or if it's even a problem with newer chips. I know that some older AMD dualies had a problem that you are describing where single threaded games kind of bounce around cores and you get a little bit of stutter when that happens, like you're describing. Even though you have good FPS, it still lags.

You can get it on http://amd.com
