Last morning I was quietly playing and had been playing quite a while with no particular issue. I was also listening to some music using windows media player, than at some point I wanted to close it, I minimized, it went in loop, blue screen, restart, problems.
After that I've been unable to run NWN properly, and so other games, the sounds are all wavy and distorted, the computer -seems- generally more lagged than it used to be. Given for granted I've not noticed any increase in my CPU usage, that I've removed I-tunes (which had given some issues in the past), updated windows media player, run a 6-hour-long anti-virus scan (and found some, removed and none luckily in the register), the problem is still there.
The character moves normally but every few seconds it freezes especially in presence of NPCS (not tried with PCs but it is likely it can be even worse), fps is highly unstable, but I had not had issues with graphic card in the past 10 days, since I came back here. I'm also trying to update the drivers of my graphic card just in case.
My computer is this:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: 2048MB RAM
Hard Drive: 500 GB Total
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT
Sound Card: SoundMAX HD Audio
Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3 (2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.090206-1234)
The sound card is integrated in the motherboard.
Any help?
