mustardpower Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 My computer is only about a year old but it crashed a few months ago since then i've had it fixed but it has become really slow at running fm 2010 and has fell from 4.5 star to 0.5 star computer performance. I don't really understand a lot about computers but i dont have any major programs on my pc and don't download lots of files. My computer has 64x2 dual core proccessor 4400+ 2.30 GHz, 2.00 of GB RAM. Is this abnormal that it is runnning so slowly or is my computer basically just not good enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lutontown1991 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Maybe you have a virus? But my computer used to have high star ratings too and it dropped. I think I heard somewhere that the star rating is flawed in some way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickballz Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 It could indeed be malware but it is impossible to know without more information. Is it a desktop or laptop? what are the specs? do you have a graphics card? what operating system? where did you get it serviced? Anyway, generally speaking, it should not suddenly start performing badly after one year. It should still be performing as well as when you got it.

mustardpower Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 But it is very noticable that the game speed has dropped when playing so i'm not sure that it is just my computer telling porkies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kickballz Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 First of all, have you cleared dust out and made sure all the fans are working? Did the problem start after you got it serviced? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustardpower Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 The problem did start after it had crashed and no i haven't cleared dust out but i will follow your advice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickballz Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I doubt that is the problem to be honest but it is always a good first step to make sure the fans are working. It would probably be overheating and switching itself off otherwise, but I'm just saying so you can be sure the hardware is all working normally so you can rule that out.
