Hey,
I bought my computer just over a year ago, and back then it purred like a kitten. I could play bf2 on highest graphics settings without so much as a burp. I took a small break from gaming, and recently, after formatting my computer, I have come back for more, but my cpu hardly purrs anymore. I can't play most recent games on high graphics settings without hardcore annoying lag. I was wondering if there was any reason for this degradation, or maybe I just need to clean the inside of my tower?
Specs:
AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core 4400+, 2.21 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 6800
1GB RAM
MSI K8N Neo4 Sli motherboard
Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS
Any help would help, thanks
