Ugh

[icksol]

umm over the course of this week i have noticed some performance decrease in my games and such although i have no idea why this is happeneing for no reason i havent changed any thing in my system at all and i updated my drivers and scanned for spyware and any thing else that could be taking up resources so then today i ran 3dmark 06 with all default settings at resoultion 1024x768 and my score was around 2300ish when i usually get around 3100 i am stumped at what to do i can only think that maybe my clock speeds are messed up but i am so lost and mad as hell because this just happened for no reason

my system specs:

intel pentium 4 @ 3.4ghz with ht
1gb DDRAM
300gb hd
geforce 7800GS agp 256 mb (XFX)
system runs on a 500w psu


HELP PLEASE AHHHHHS! :ahhhhh:


hmm would ageia physx have anything to do with it since i dont have a device just the program heh

Ya shouldn't ever install software or drivers for hardware you don't have. It's very likely that's the problem right there. Unless you were using the software for something else, I'd suggest completely removing it and seeing if that fixes things. :)

Defragment, and post a screen shot of the processes in Windows Task Manager.

**** well i almost forgot but last nite i took my comp apart to look in and see if anything was messed up and when i took the cpu out some of the pins were bent on one of the corners so i tried to straighten them and about 4 of them fell off so i still put it back in my comp and its running fine as a matter of fact im on it right now wtf is this rofl umm well ill defrag and take a screenshot anyways :help:

You running your CPU with 4 pins broken off right now? Uhh.... I really don't know what to say. :ahhhhh:

[icksol]

........Wow

[DragonMaster]

Must just be power pins (All connected together)

[icksol]

i figured they were only power pins or somethin

[mousiness]

i figured they were only power pins or somethin

hahaha i couldnt help myself by laughing, if the pins are bent the Mobo is useless: and, how is it possible to run a CPU with bent pins on the mobo?? and how did this happen? and how the heck id you get a high score after? is this a joke!??!!?

and you wanna know what the messed up part is, i just ran 3dmark06 and got 3657!:smile:

You got ur 3D marks increased after bending the CPU pins.:ahhhhh:

Everybody, take out your screwdriver & bend ur CPU pins.It's the easiest way to get better 3D Marks score.Wow,to increase my 3D Marks, I won't have to buy another ram stick.Just a small screwdriver will do.:lol:

Mousiness, his CPU pins r not only bent,they have fallen off means they r now detached from the CPU.So, it's possible to plug the CPU to the socket.I wonder,how the pins got bent though.

[icksol]

i dont get it either

[DragonMaster]

It's very easy to bend CPU pins, they bend like nothing.

[icksol]

yea they bent and fell off and then i stuck it back in and it works

[tomato]

You bent your CPU fins until they fell off?! And now it works fine?! ....wow.
