Hello,
I'm having an issue. I'm running an older lap top with the following specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 (2ghz 800mhz fsb, 2mb L2 cache)
512mb (Dedicated) nVidia 9600M GS Turbo Cache
4GB Ram
Running Vista Home Premium
During most computing, I have no issue with system performance. However, when I run games, I consistently (across all games) have the same issue. The game will run fine, and over time it will slowly progress into a slower and slower, slow mo game play. There is no audio disturbance, and the only visual disturbance is the slow motion. Now it is important to note, the game will run fine for the first few minutes of gameplay, perfect some might say, but it eventually deteriorates (10-15minutes).
I've tried all the usual suspects. Play around with game visual settings, clearing start up programs, eliminating any system hog background software, defrag, registry clean up and defrag. I have even tried to turn off laptop hardware (wireless) in order to conserve power (even though I run plugged in) to no avail.
Any ideas what may be causing my slow motion problem? Is it perhaps an over heating issue?
