[QUOTE="OgreB"]Is that a real dual core or one of those hyper threading cpus? You said Pentium D..right ? It could be your card is bottlenecking you Pentium.. Or lack of power...there is not enough power for your whole system and the card micro drops( due to power fluctuations ) and so you get choppiness ( FPSs reduction )

Yes,Intel Pentium D 925 is my CPU.So if my card is bottlenecking my pentium,how i can fix that? Buy new CPU ?

My power supply is Codegen 400w model 300x.But as i said,the only thing that's happening when the drops start is only a higher cpu usage of the game that i'm currently running.Also,this maybe is unnecessary to be said,but my video card has a slot where i must connect it to the power supply.What will happen if i disconnect the video card from the power supply?

There may be a program running in the background killing your CPU, I am not really sure what else could be wrong. Its weird that you are getting spurts rather than it being consistant.wooooode
Yep,very strange and i don't have even the tiniest idea why is this happening.I tried boot scan in Avast,but the problem is still here.Any other ideas ?

Hello.That's my pc configuration :

Windows XP Professional | Service Pack 3 | Antivirus - Avast
CPU Type : DualCore Intel Pentium D 925, 3000 MHz (15 x 200)Motherboard Name :Asus P5GC-VM Pro |
Motherboard Chipset: Intel Lakeport-G i945GC
RAM : 2x1gb KINGSTON DDR2-667mhz
Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT PALIT (1024 MB)
HDD: Hitachi HDP725040GLA360 (400 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA-II)
Power Supply - Codegen 400W

When i run an internet browser,some music the temperatures are around these values:
HDD: 37 C | GPU: 38 C | CPU: 40-43 C | Motherboard: 34 C
CPU USAGE is Around 5 %

So,let's go straight to the problem.When i play no matter what game (older ones like Diablo II or up to date games like Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2) i get huge randon FPS Drops.No matter what settings is chosen,high or low,when i play like 5 minutes,the fps drops drastically and the cpu usage is near 100%.But there is no change at the cpu temperature,(goes to 50 C when the drops start)This drop usually last around 1-2 minutes,then everything is back to normal,then this procedure keeps repeating-Smooth playing,huge drops,smooth playing,huge drops.I red that cleaning every part of hardware should fix the problem.But it didn't.I cleaned every dust particle that was in my case,nothing happened.I tried defragmentation,disk clean up,format,new windows.Playing withouth internet to see if it's from the conectivity.The problems persists.Please,help me to find a solution because that's making me really mad.Thanks in advance !
