Couple seconds of Framerate drops

chicken32 · Oct 24, 2007, 09:40 AM

Hey, i just built a new computer, and when i play games Counter Strike 1.6, Unreal Tournament 3 demo, and Lost Planet demo to name a few, every now and then EVEN when theres no action happening on screen, even main menu, and all low settings and low resolution, the frame rate drops to like 2-5 fps, really bad framerate, it happens at random times and for 2-10 seconds everytime

My Specs:

Asus M2N-VM DVI
AMD 6000+
BFG Geforce 8600 OC 256 GDDR3
Seagate 8mb cache 250GB
OCZ2VU8002GK OCZ 2gb dual channel RAM

I have some theories to what the problem is, but im not 100% sure:

RAM is 2.1 volts, and Motherboard only gives up to 2.0 volts
Hard drive is only 8mb cache and is too slow
Power supply is only 400W

note: Windows and everything else runs perfectly, no problems, Except when playing games.
