I am very very very frustrated, I tried everything:

Installing new BIOS,

Installing new mobo drivers,

Installing new Video Card drivers,

Installing the UltraATA drivers from intel,

set BIOS to default

reassemble the hardwares,

but nothing seemed to work...

Here's the problem, I have a Celeron 700 @ 900, CUSL2-C, GF4 Ti4400, with the newest 44.3 Det FX Drivers from NVIDIA. And DX9.

Whenever I play a game, probably when the DX engine is initialted, i can play the game for 10 minutes without SLOWNESS, then after 10 minutes or so, it would often SLOW-DOWN to 1FPS/s, more like Playing the game in slow motion, for 10 seconds, then comes back to normal game play, about 60fps/s. I have tried it on many games, same result.

This has never happened before, just happened today. Now I didn't use computer for half a month. And I doubt anything physically damaged anything, if it did, it would probably stop working.

I flashed my mobo with the tweaked BIOS that forces AGP4x even if you OC CPU(ASUS CUSL2-C has a safty feature that turns off AGP4x if you OC 140Mhz or more).

Someone please please please please help. If you have AIM please get on, my sn is PrudensOptimus, help help.

Firstly...

Don't force a card to AGP4X if it's not suitable. It's pointless, and stupid.

Secondly...

If you're mobo is fitted with a safety feature which prevents you from using AGP4X with an OC'd CPU, there's a reason! :rolleyes:

Stop fiddling with the settings and try a basic setup. OC'ing a celeron is like putting a 4.6i V8 in a Mini !!!

Sorry to be blunt M8, but so many "wannabe-overclockers" wreck perfectly good systems for a few extra milliseconds on load times and 10% increases in FPS's. I just don't see the point.
