my pc is posted below
when i try loading up hl2
i hear the loading intro sound but its still on my desktop
once it loads the part when the background is the city

everything is laggy and instead of the sky i see my desktop blinking in the background .

now when i try loading world of warcraft
the screen goes black and goes back to desktop constantly

wth is going?
 
i did now i just get a black screen once WoW is loaded
but Counter-strike 1.6 loads fine

could it be
cuz i enabled fastwrites ( it was disabled by default)
and AGP P2P Deep Fifo i enabled and it was disabled aswell in the bios
 
Yes reverse those changes and try it again.
The real question is, was it fine before you made those changes?
 
OK slower is better than a black screen.

What did you do recently to your system to make it behave like this?

I would still try a driver change 🙂
 
card is stock
i reformated did all the installation agp uli driver and video card on first try
unlike yesterday took a few uninstalls to get it right due to this mobo being picky with agp cards
now installing games to see if its gonna work

Could you have maybe fried your ram on your vid-card? I had that problem years ago with crap-ass PNY cards. No heatsinks on the ram, so after a couple days they just gave up and died on me. 🙁
 
well now it loads into the game
exept when i click on hl2 it takes bout 5-10 seconds to get into the game
while on desktop i can hear the loading sound
once in game
5 seconds after i am loaded fully

but the thing thats scaring me right now is my cpu
i am installing wow and i have windows media player playing a movie with msn and mirc its hitting 67C

normally its bout 56-60 C under load while i play cs

should i reapply the thermal grease?
 
How much paste did you put on? what kind is it?
Too much is bad, too little is bad.
Considering there's about 40 lbs. of pressure on the CPU from clamping on the heatsink, you shouldn't need more than a drop 1/4 size of your fingernail.
