In few games I get low FPS (20-25) no matter what graphics settings I keep. Even the lowest settings at 800*600 gives me the same FPS that I get with highest settings at 1280*1024 in that particular game. e.g. in Hot Pursuit 2010, MOH 2010, Blur and Black Ops. What could be the reason behind? What is bottlenecking my PC.. Ram, Proc or GPU? Please Help.

On youtube, I saw such games running perfectly on PCs with similar spec as my PC has. But I can't play these games so smooth. Other games are working awesome.

Yes, I have 2 GB DDR2 ram. is it because of its speed 667mhz? do I need 800 or more speed?

---------- Post added at 03:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

most obvious answer would be the bug caused by the pirated copy u got
Pirated copy problem? I never bought legal copy. I always download games from torrent. I dont think this is going to be the reason. Legal copy= All illegal copies (For offline/single player gaming) and I play only single player. Did you ever experience any problem with any pirated copy?

try playing the game on windows xp as some of the games you mentioned require 3gb ram on windows 7 and 2.5gb ram on windows xp

You are talking about ram capacity. It is not the problem of capacity of ram because hdd led does not blink that much during gameplay these games. It means pc is not using swap file that can slow down fps.

Help!
my windows xp loading screen is not shown after the bios screen. i just get a blank screen.
why is this happening?
Yes, there was a virus before the problem started. And often the bios doesn't detect the harddrive too.
I installed windows xp again after formatting. Windows is working fine....
but the harddrive has considerably slowed down...
and sometimes the harddrive stops working without any reason.

^^^
1-Check if processor and Heatsink arecorrectly installed(it can be the reason why hard disk not detected).
2-Back-up your data and format your harddrive (reason harddisk is slowed down can be caused by bad partitioning)
3-Change the installaiton cd or dvd (corrupted windows)
4-After instaling windows do perform a virus check.

Did 2, 3 and 4...don't know how to do the 1st one.
Can the slow speed be caused by a fault in the wire connecting the hdd to the motherboard?

currently i have 667 mhz kvr 1gb previously it shows 993 mb but now its showing 839 mb what is this and also shows only 480 mb free?
Its ok to show 993Mb.
for 839 i would say some memory is being shared with onboard graphic card.

Other memory is being used by Operating system and programs running. btw if u r using windows 7 2gb mmemory is recomended. (y)

Guys I have encountered a lil problem, I don't if its a virus or what.

But every time.... every freaking time I turn on the button (on the wall socket to which my PC is connected) my PC turns on by itself, It never happened before I don't know what the hell is wrong.

Buts thats just not the only issue, when it turns on it throws me at the screen where I have to press F4 to run BIOS setup then I exit without doing anything It restarts and then loads the windows.

Any idea whats the problem? A virus or what?

1) But every time.... every freaking time I turn on the button (on the wall socket to which my PC is connected) my PC turns on by itself, It never happened before I don't know what the hell is wrong.

2) Buts thats just not the only issue, when it turns on it throws me at the screen where I have to press F4 to run BIOS setup then I exit without doing anything It restarts and then loads the windows.

Any idea whats the problem? A virus or what?
1) From my personal encounters, these were mostly caused by either the wall socket or your PSU. try move your pc and plug it at another socket elsewhere. If still persist, try another PSU see if the problem still there. If after these 2 methods can't kill the problem, then there must be something wrong on your motherboard. this would require a lot of patience

2) Please clarify the problem, i can't understand it very well

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
