    Ok i have had a problem with my pc for about 1 year and a half. It is after about 10 - 15mins of playing game or even surffing the web it starts to run slow like in my game the fps would drop by at least half. i tryed replaceing my graphics card still the same problem so i got a new case with an extra 3 fans in it that didnt work, got a new heat sink and fan for my cpu nope still the same problem so i thought it woulda been my cpu so i replaced that and i still have the same thing. So it is ether my psu RAM or my motherboard. what could it be?????

    First off wrong section.

    Seems like it might not be hardware problems your having it might be viruses or something. Have you tried scanning your PC for viruses/spyware/adware ? Or use system tools such as de-frag and such?

    Generally, to make your PC go faster, you get more RAM...

    check your drivers.
    check your processes.

    those would be the two big things off the top of my head.

    a dying harddrive would usually have symptoms far removed from that.
    those would include odd noises, poor disk performance, inaccessible data, etc.

    Godan, could you tell us what exactly your computers specs are?

    thus far I've determined that it has 768mb RAM in it form your description. Somewhat on the low side but definitely within tolerability. A lot of open applications could result in harddrive paging which is definitely degenerative to performance, and since you said you reformatted several times it's unlikely that you have corrupted drivers or other corrupted software(though that doesn't mean that the drivers are optimal unless you downloaded fairly recent drivers) As for your CPU, not sure but I'm guessing based off of the rest fo your system that ti's probably Either a socket775 celeron, or an socketAM2 AMD athlon 64 simply based off of how much RAM is in it and the fact that lower end systems typically came with such around a year ago.

    Virus', Anti-Virus software, Bloatware, out of date drivers, poor disk management, etc etc.

    Definately check your Task manager and see what processes are running. If you see anything thats using an unusual amount of resources, tell us what it is. If you know it's safe, end the process.
