8600gt wont run it on high. an 8800gt or so will.

an 8600gt will run it on about low/medium to mantain an average of 20-30 fps. (smooth rate)

A bit pricey. But, with the specs you listed, it would be a nice little portable gamer. Just expect to crank out any of the newer games on high settings. but its a decent computer for the casual gamer.

I'd reccomend it.

Well, if all fails format your drive.

But, yes, take out all the background processes. Defrag and clean up. Remove programs you dont need, delete all your cookies, and temporary internet files, scan for adware and viruses. I reccomend AVG. if all fails, as i said, format your drive.

Dude, you could be right, see, my dad has a comp in the living room running at about 24 degrees celcius, at most, 28, mine sometimes hits 39, and max 42! Is there any software that can tell you the temperature of your computer parts?

Intel Pentium4 processer W/Hyperthreading Enabled

ATI Radeon X850 Pro running @ 256MB

I forgot my power supply...

And 1GB Of DDR2 memory

I believe you have a pop-up blocker in effect.

Hmm.....This may sound very stupid, but, first off, is your computer shutting down properly? since if it's not, it may not be saving the settings, so be sure for it to shut down properly and it will save all the recent changes you made, and my other guess is that the games dont fully support that piece of hardware.
