Getting rid of DirectX9 is quite hard isn't it? I've downloaded two german programs that will "theoretically" uninstall it... but i'm not so sure i buy it. The only other way to roll back to 8.1 would be to reformat I believe, and I'd hate to do that if directX isn't the issue:/
Another thing...
I have DirectX 9.0b installed and yes, i have ad-aware with the up-to-date DAT file. I have no other applications running, including antivirus software while playing CS (version 1.5). I don't have the latest Catalyst drivers (3.6?), but I'm about to install them now.
Actually the problem...
Lately, when playing CS after 20 or 30 minutes my fps will suddenly drop. I normally can pull 99 fps in the game but after a certain amount of time my fps will start to fluctuate around 60. The game seems slightly sluggish, and I can only regain my original 99 fps by rebooting my computer...
Ok, I think I finally made a decision here: Thermaltake VOLCANO 6Cu. Heatsink + Dual Ball-Bearing Fan for only 10 bucks from new egg. I don't plan on oc'ing so it should do the job I hope.
Ok, I just tested it late last night.... 46C at bootup. Then after letting it just idle for a few hours and then gaming for a couple of hours the temp shot up to 59C. So far that's as high as I've saw it get. I know that my vid. card puts off a lot of heat too, I have a 9500 pro. I've had...
Hmm, thanks for the input. I'm still not quite sure what I'm going to do. I was browsing the amd site and came across something that made me feel a little better.... under normal operating conditions the cpu is supposed to be anywhere from 60-65C or less, so I think I may be fine.
It just...
Ok, thanks dude... I'm just wondering it it's safe to have my cpu at that temp. I don't really want to spend a lot of money in order to get another hs, but I just might if it'll be more stable. Any suggestions for a good lowcost heatsink?
Ok, so does this mean I should definitely try getting a new hs/fan? I understand that it would be noticeably cooler than my stock hs/fan but if my cpu temp idles at 55C is it really that bad?
No, like I said in my earlier post I can't seem to find any available firmware updates. I think I'm just going to give in and shell out 20 bucks in order to buy me a new one. Thanks for the help though.
My current cpu temp is 55C while my in case temp is 33C... It seems a little warm inside and I was wondering if these are ok for normal operating conditions. I read that the suggested cpu temp should stay near 42C, that's why I'm asking. I have a front case fan that seems to be blowing air...
I hate to say it but you may be right... it seems there's nothing else I can do. I was hoping the darn thing would last me a little longer, but that doesn't seem to be the case:/
I've had a Lite-On LTN483S 48x Cd-rom that I've had for about 3 or 4 years now. I've been having trouble copying cd-to-cd audio tracks for quite a while now. Well it finally pissed me off to the point where i couldnt take it anymore, and i found out that this particular cd-rom doesn't extract...
I was just wondering if I really need all of the services provided by microsoft that are running behind the scenes... I started up the system configuration utility just to see what all was being loaded up, and under the 'services' tab there was an entire list of things, and I have no idea what...
I have an EPoX 8RDA+ board with an Athlon XP 2000+ processor installed. I just built this system, and at the initial bootup the FSB was set to 100 MHz and the mutliplier was set to some default value (12 i guess). It registers as a 1.2 GHz in windows.
I want to be able to get this most out...
