Help Please

[shdssamir]

i've been getting HUGE LAGS with audio and video in games, i've tried all solutions i could think of to fix this but its not working please help.

my specs are :

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz
Display adapter type NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285
Total available graphics memory 3583 MB
Dedicated graphics memory 2048 MB
Dedicated system memory 0 MB
Shared system memory 1535 MB
Display adapter driver version 8.16.11.9107
Primary monitor resolution 1440x900
DirectX version DirectX 10
4GB RAM
Gigabyte Model P35-DS3R .
WINDOWS 7 UNLTIMATE 32 bit

my audio and video drivers are updated and the motherboard's drivers are installed automatically by windows 7

i think the problem might be the 2gb video memory + the 4gb ram not being used properly by a 32bit OS

PLEASE HELP

That part i don't think is your problem, try getting the drivers straight from the GB website, and your 285 is a 2gb version?

Also the underlined part is very weird

Also get video drivers from nvidia.com

oh MUSSEL's are friendly forum moderator where are you seems you were right and it didnt even take a fermi card to make you so

sorry i know its not helping but so your aware windows 32bit has 4gigs max addressable space that means 4gigs ram max

now 2gigs for the gpu means 2 gigs for the os but u have 4 gigs installed somethings going on here but the flood gate has opened and Mussels shall be proven right all hail Mussels

 

[Mussels]

While its possible for random problems to occur with the limitations of a 32 bit OS, they shouldnt occur except on really demanding games at really really high settings.

btw: 32 bit OS may limit you to 4GB total, but its 2GB per app max as well. thats where the problems come from.


Could you please give us more specifics as to these problems: is it just fullscreen games, does it occur at lower graphicss settings, can you play MP3's, video files, or web based flash (say, youtube) problem free?

If most things work, let us know what doesnt - and if most things DONT work, let us know what does.

Thats the most fucked up sentence i've have read all week

 

[shdssamir]

i dont think my motherboar'd drivers are the issue here as it never gave me problems before.
all windows stuff including videos and mp3s run fine as well as online streaming.
games are played a bit better on lower setting nut not perfect but it shouldnt be the case because i have a very good gfx card as well as enough ram n CPU. and yes i play games at full screen and yes the gfx card is a 2gb version

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

long story we had a convo about fermi and 32bit oses and Xp and how its gonna go boom eventually this is a perfect example of it going boom

 

[Kreij]

I ran my x2 with 2GB of memory on Vista 32 with 4GB of RAM without problem (albiet on a quad), so that's not what's causing you grief. Are there other processes running that could be eating up CPU cycles and causing the lag?

 

[shdssamir]

is it really possible that a core 2 duo 2.6 processor is not good enough anymore ???

Can you try running a game say... 1024x768 on low settings with no AA and no AF, and see if the games run better? If so, it may be the address space issues of a 32 bit OS - if not, then its something else

And make sure you have the latest directX installed as well (its called 9.0C, even when it includes updates for 10/10.1/11, so that XP users dont download it and go "WHERE IS MY DX11?!?!?)

is it really possible that a core 2 duo 2.6 processor is not good enough anymore ???

its more than enough, assuming you arent playing some of the games out there that are massively CPU dependant (GTA IV, supreme commander, SOASE)

 

[shdssamir]

ok i'll try lower setting and resolution without AA or AF right now n let u know
im downloading the latest DX now. i dont think i'll need it as the latest games i have come with DX setup
im downloading it anyway right now

 

[Kreij]

What other programs are runnning when you game? Is your hard disk being thrashed?

Side Note: Please try to be a little more descriptive in your thread titles.

 

[shdssamir]

still the same, horrible lags
i was trying dawn of war 2's performance test using 1042 resolution and low settings:

average frames were 33
minimum were 3
maximum were 60

direct x didnt help either

 

[shdssamir]

i have msn and kaspersky internet security running in the background

 

[Mussels]

i have msn and kaspersky internet security running in the background

what build of kaspersky? i had some issues with 9.0.0.735, and it didnt autoupdate off that build.

still the same, horrible lags
i was trying dawn of war 2's performance test using 1042 resolution and low settings:

direct x didn't help either

to be honest, if you were hitting 32 bit limitations you'd be crashing, not having issues like this.

Could you please post a hijack this log?

 

[shdssamir]

my kaspersky version is 9.0.0.736

im really lost here :S

i found the august release of directx its 500mb, should i download it ? its the latest one

 

[Mussels]

that would be the SDK, it wont help.

Hijack this is the last thing i can think of - and maybe uninstalling kaspersky, to see if its the cause (when i fixed my excessive lag from kaspersky, i did uninstall, reboot, install new - perhaps if you upgraded, the lag remains?)

 

[shdssamir]

i uninstalled the previous version then installed this new one
besides i dont trust any other internet securities over kaspersky, its the best one in my opinion

i dont know anything about this hijack

 

[Kreij]

Can you just turn off Kaspersky to see if it fixes it?
That way you wont have to uninstall it if it does not help.

 

[shdssamir]

ok i'll give it a try right now n turn it off completely n see

i'll try the game again n let u know

i'm a kaspersky user myself, the bug i had (an early bug before it officially supported 7) was only fixed by an uninstall - quitting the program didnt help.

hijack this is simple. run it, scan, post the results. it shows us a list of everything starting with windows, or attached to explorer/IE (such as toolbars, viruses, etc)

 

[shdssamir]

well kaspersky didnt help, i saw a frame improvement of 2 frames max
i'll try hijack n let u know

 

[Kreij]

That's kind of strange, Mussels. If the Kaspersky processes are stopped, I wonder why just having it installed would be problematic. I believe you, it just seems illogical.

this is what i got in the log file :

thats a rather short log, but seems clean. I see nothing there that shouldnt be
