What do you mean slowing down. like just in games, over time it's getting slower, all of a sudden it's slow.....?

smart ass comment or actually sincere? because sounds like a virus or maybe the gear is just starting to die. i mean that is some pretty old stuff

I'm not being sarcastic I just figured I needed an upgrade soon any suggestions just a low budget kindof upgrade

your graphics card isnt working properly...did you just install it? If you did and had intergrated graphics on your motherboard it could not be using the graphics card seperated from the mobo and instead be using the intergrated graphics.

the onboard video card was turned off when I got it installed then a week after my monitor just goes no signal and I can't even reboot I had to hold on the power button to reboot even the reset switch won't do so right now I just unplugged the damn thing
