| 309568 | 2004-12-31 12:21:00 | Need a better explanation than it's not running too good. Try a fresh install of XP Pro :2cents: |

| 309569 | 2004-12-31 14:05:00 | As said, "its not running too good" tells us squat. That could mean anything from smoke billowing from the power supply, through to jerky mouse movement. You might also like to think about using more appropriate thread titles - stating "Can U plz help me.. i hav a PC problem" is a given as it's a PC help forum. |

| 309571 | 2005-01-01 13:15:00 | If you have replace the motherboard or a large amount of hardware, your PC will run "not too good". If you haven't done so, reinstall Windows. Just boot of the Windows CD and make sure you choose to format the hard drive. Pretty straightfoward if you haven't done it before. I see you're "online" right now, so perhaps you could update us?

| 309575 | 2005-01-01 22:22:00 | I had this problem when I upgraded my geforce2 PCI to geforce4 AGP. Turned out the AGP slot drivers weren't installed and so GF4 was running at PCI speed. check and make sure all drivers are installed and up to date. |

| 309576 | 2005-01-01 22:29:00 | Your comp will only run as good as its slowest component. In your case the video card,which is marginally faster then a g4ti4200.....maybe even slower,can't be knackered looking up the info. To give a better indication of how your system should be running,download and run 3dmark01, Then post back what score you got. |
