check if you have microsoft update enabled (not windows update) i had a similar prob it was eating my cpu even when it wasnt updating anything, fps went from usual 125 down to 30s, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/901037

Make sure it's not doing a hard drive virus scan while you're playing... Also, try to shut down all programs running in the background.

the only progs i got in the background is icq , ventrilo and irc..that was no prob until today..

Change anything in your config?

Just try to find out what has changed since you last got good FPS, and then you'll probably be able to solve the problem easily.

Sounds fishy tbh that you get such a radical drop just overnight..
The only thing I can think of is that you can check the fans on your computer for dust, and vaccum it if theres any. Since your processor will work at It's top when ET is on you need to have the fans in proper work otherwise the processor will get warm and will start giving fps-drops.

Or theres some spyware in the background that your anti-virus program hasn't found. Use Ad-aware or Spyware Doctor to search for them. But assuming your not stupid you would've checked what runnings in the background and I guess you can probably figure out if you got 10 things running of the same is spyware.

yeah, vaccum if you want your pc not to work afterwards
vaccum=static electricity
hi2u
also spybot > both of those antispyware programs

also if your cpu gets warm, your PC reboots or if rebooting is switched off gives you a blue screen or you get hardware damage, not fps drop.
you might have fps drop also, but it will reboot.


your whole post was lies :\

Well I'm just speaking out of own experiences. When I had a weaker computer I used to get this reboot thing when the comp was to heated but now when I got a better/stronger computer with more fans on it it just gets slower when it starts to dust up and gives lower fps in ET.

And the vaccum thing I know may people does, and their computer works as usual. But unplug it is a plus first.

retarded people then - also very lucky or just dumb enough not to find the motherboard with the vaccum .
vaccum = static electricity , you can check if you don't already know.
motherboard + static = dead motherboard, you can check. :)

very, VERY risky shit. I advise you blow dust out of the case yourself and use a small brush or something, or use a leaf blower or something that blows out air

Deactivated5924 10 Mar 2007, 14:19
just search for computer cleaning and read on vacuums , i doubt wikipedia has a entry on how you can break your motherboard.
theory ? it's not a theory btw.
