ok thank u for helping me but can u tell me the prices for a good motherboard? and what motherboards are the best? i mean intel or what i donno thank u for helping me
While the Pentium isn't the top anymore, I think there are other problems. What are the full specs of this system including power supply? What temp is the CPU at? Do you have the latest patches for your games? Do you have the latest drivers for your hardware? Is Windows updated to the latest version and all patches applied? Have you defragged your hard drive? 256MB doesn't tell us anything, as even crappy cards can be loaded with lots of RAM, however useless that would be.
thanks for helping... My computer is... intel pentium 4 cpu 3.20ghz RAM: 1500 MB 3 hard disks taotal space is 75 gb NVIDIA geforce 6200 le 256 mb Vedio card and about the other info plz tell me where to get because i didnt get much from (dxdiag) What temp is the CPU at? i donnu what is a temp Do you have the latest patches for your games? yes , and there are lots of people having this problem and Valve said that it well not make a patch for is because it is a computer problem Do you have the latest drivers for your hardware? i tried to download a new driver from intel but i couldnt find anything Is Windows updated to the latest version and all patches applied? yes But i am using Vista at the moment Have you defragged your hard drive? plz tell me how to thx very much for ur help Molham.b
I don't think it is the computer, More than likely it is the GAME .. have you tried other games ? Is it like slow all the time,OR just when playing this ONE game ?
no i was playing the game on my brothers laptop and it was perfect and fast tht was intel pentium m no even the computer is slow and as i said when i try to do anything the CPU usage jumps to 100% i donnu the game group said i have a problem with paiged pool memory and i am using alot of it so can u tell me more about it and how can i get it larger?????? thank u all
How does this computer run, when NOT playing any games ? The one thing I notice is your hard drives ? why do you have three separate ones ? Also you video card could be your problem...
The specs of your pc will be able to run CSS quite well on low resolution so I'm guessing there another problem involved and not so much to do with your rig's power
ok .. my computer runs realy good anyway i keep my pc clean and i dont run so much programs ya about my hard drive the computer was 3 years old and no body is using it and i was using my brother's laptop so i got the pc and i fixed the video card and the ram i am planning to fix the hard drives but i dont wanna spend more money on parts that dosent fix my problim my video card well, i hhad 128 crappy video card and i got 256 the man in the store told me its perfect for my game
yh ur right i think the problim is that my CPU is very week becouse when i try to run any program it jumps to 100% i can see it in the task manager so how can i increse my CPU power?
