Something's Wrong Bad With My Comp...

[FrozenLightning]

Ok, I don't know if any of you are familiar with a previous post I had about my vid card skipping frames on 3dmark 2k3, it was a Radeon 9800 Pro 256 from GigaCube... I figured it was defective. I just bought a built by ATI Radeon 9800 pro 128 and it does the same thing.... and both of them work fine in my friends comp which has a slower cpu and ram. So, I'm really confused- Here's my comps stats-

 

P4P800 Deluxe Mobo

Watercooled P4 2.8 ghz

Western Digital 200 Gig hard drive

2* 512 Megs sticks of Kingston Hyper X DDR 3500, Set up as Dual Channel

I don't think you'd need to know anything else.. maybe Bios stuff..

 

Hyperthreading- On

AGP Aperture- 128 or 256 (According to respective card)

RAM clock speed- 400mhz (I need to learn how to oc it to 433 because my ram is faster)

Super Spread Spectrum- Enabled

Agp Priority -AGP

Running at 8x

 

 

I don't know.. any suggestions!! I'm running the Catalyst 3.6's, and it did it with the old ones to.

 

Thanks,

Mike

Have you tried it with HyperThreading off? I think I read somewhere that that can possibly slow certain applications or games down.

Really.. I"ll have to try that... Thanks!

Another suggestion, check if your BIOS has "Thermal throttling" and turn it off.

Ok... I turned off hyperthreading and it still does the same bs... i'll try the thermal throttling thing.. thanks,
