Ok, for some reason, starting in the last 2 days, my computer has gotten slow and slower. Its sluggish, even on the desktop. In counterstrike, the fps jumps from 20- 80, on a single map, regularly. I have tried running a virus scan, NOD32 showed nothing, updated drivers as well, that did nothing... Im stumped. Any ideas besides reformat( i really dont want to do that right now)

Edit: Oh, and just an occurrence of today, i have no sound...
 
Have you checked for ad/spyware as well as viruses? If it's slow on the desktop, I would think it's software related, but your sudden loss of sound is odd... are you using onboard sound?
 
Yeah im using onboard sound, and all my scans showed up blank in the virus department, so i reinstalled windows. Then i ran dxdiag just to see if everything is what it should be... and then... i realized its only recognizing a quarter of my ram...
 
Do you have another machine you can test your memory in? It is starting to look like it's your board. Try posting with no ram installed, and listen for beeps, and then do the same with your video card. If there are no beeps, or the sequence is incorrect, that would indicate a problem with your board....
 
Ok, i figured out the problem, well kinda, i tested my ram, one stick at a time and one of the sticks is dead, so at least i have 3/4 of my ram now, still dont know about the sound
guess ill just have to get a sound card.
