My computer is an old desktop that I built at the end of 2005. It's got an AMD Athlon 64 3500+, 2GB of RAM, ATI X850XT, running Windows XP.
Recently, it seems to have hit a wall in terms of speed. It freezes up occasionally while browsing the web, and open Zune music player takes forever as well. Also, I'm trying to play Combat Arms. My computer more than meets the recommended requirements for this game but I am constantly lagging. I used to play the same game a few months ago with no problems but now I can't even play it anymore.
I tried defragmenting my hard drive but it hasn't done anything. My virus scanners also come up clean.
Is my processor just dead?
