Problems with Gaming

Hello DaChew, please explain what you mean? and how do i find out what the motherboard is ?

let's start with the make and model of your computer, they are usually labeled on the outside another thing in device manager I want you to look for a sis cpu to agp controller if your video card is agp? it will be under system devices, what's the driver date and is it whql certified

hey ok i bought my computer from ebay.. pretty dumb really i know but it doesnt have and model name on it.. its just an all black tower and how do i find out is the video card is agp i didnt see anything in the device manager along the lines of a sis cpu to agp controller would it help if i posted some screenshots?

you just upgraded the video card, was it agp or pci-e?

open the case and try to identify the motherboard

download everest home free(google), install and copy paste an overclock report from computer

@Dachew.

Radeon X1950 Pro is a PCI Express card

For mainboard and BIOS version, look in the PcPitstop test, under Test details.

@TonyG123

Do you have the Chip-set CD which came with your PC? (Normally stating Drivers and utilities on the front) If so, please re-install your chip-set drivers. No harm done overwriting them, as long as you haven't updated them before. That way, we can be sure your chip-set drivers are in place.

ok i asked my brother, and he said it is pci-e Field Value Motherboard Properties Motherboard ID 63-0100-000001-00101111-111006-SIS662$M609AF13_BIOS DATE: 11/10/06 15:02:05 VER: M609AF13.BIN Motherboard Name Unknown and here is the properties.. thx @Abydos: ok i will have a look for it tomorrow (if i can find it) its pretty late here and i gotta be up early tomorrow for work

Hi TonyG123 Just saw you were posting in the HJT forum. If you are going to re-open with Silver, its not wise for us to go any further here. We shouldn't be doing any alterations to your system with ongoing logs in the HJT forum because they will make the logs non-accurate. Once done with Silver, and if you still having problems, you can just post back here. And please refrain from the advice above regarding your chip-set drivers for the same reasons. Regards Abydos

for future reference

Expansion Slots: 1 x PCI-E X16

that video chipset is also available in agp

Oh, ok no problem i will check back when i am finished with Silvers help, lol cheers. btw DaChew.. what is that ? do i need it ?

you might just glance in the case and see if it looks right, we'll address any driver issues when you are declared all clean malware has been known to hose video drivers

TonyG123 Try to do as many of the suggestions on PCPitstop as possible most of them are pretty easy instructions to follow. You would be suprised how much simply defraging your PC will help. As Doug mentioned before Windows defrag program work pretty well if ran in safe mode, or try one of the others mentioned earlier in this thread.

Hello again guys, im finished with silver now. are we getting anywhere with this topic? lol i will try to disk defrag recommended in an earlier post and also try to do suggestions by pcpitstop.. is there anything else i could do or should i just do these first before posting again? cheers

Hi TonyG123, Please complete the recommendations from your Pit Test. Then run and post a fresh Pit Test. In your next reply… Post a fresh Pit Test Let us know how your machine is running in general and what specifics you may still want to address. Best Regards

Hello Doug,

some of them i did, and ran a fresh pitstop and it still shows up there, like the automatic updates. and the internet speed thing.. lol i dont wanna mess with that incase i mess it up or somethin

Looks like the sis northbridge is using xp generic drivers, more foolproof that way, not sure if it maximizes performance tho How's everything working?
