Oh God no...

[Dethred]

Well I had BF2 running at about 60fps with every setting maxed out, and over the last week I have experienced CTD's and Blue screens. I even got a Ram voltage message trying to boot my PC a few days ago.

Now with BF2 the game is running really low FPS ~20 on a 64 player map and stuttering like crazy. I think some of it has to do with a crappy ISP going slower lately (the stuttering at least) but the FPS is really low.

I cleared out some crap on my Gaming hard drive and now its got 68/120GB left. Only thing I changed today was slowly overclocked the AMD up to 2.41Ghz... I didn't make any Ram changes. This Hard drive was recently formatted about 1 month ago too...

Any ideas what could be slowing it down?

Your PSU is probably crappy.

Re: Oh God no...

What voltage are you giving to your processor and RAM?

Re: Oh God no...

CPU 1.45

Ram is stock voltage. Recommend a hike?

And my PSU is a Thermalake 420Watt... not too bad for the hardware if you ask me.

That doesn't explain the 75% drop in performance in BF2.

Maybe one of those CTD's or bluescreens messed up BF2 or Windows. Try clearing the cache folder of BF2 and perhaps redo audio settings and save them. I have seen BF2 get totally messed up after a CTD and I've had to redo all my settings.

If this keeps up I'm going to spend the 2 hours to reinstall BF2 and its patches ~10 times to get it to work half way like it used to. Otherwise I'll be installing Windows.... again...
