Hello nice looking people, I do have a problem.
I used to have 1,5 gb of DDR1 PC3200 RAM but, today, I bought 2 gb of DDR2 PC5300. I removed the old RAM, put on the new one, plugged the computer and started it. It detects 2gb or RAM and when I do "dxdiag" it says 2048mb and all and all.
It was all ok until I started a game. It was horribly laggy, even the sound was laggy and broke. I checked and my CPU usage was at 100%. Strange because it never happened before that. I quit the game but it stayed at 100%.
I rebooted and it was ok, but whenever I start a program the cpu goes 100% and stays there. I can't do much.
So, what the hell?
I have Windows XP and a GeForce 8800GTS and mobo ECS P4M890T-M2 and I recently changed my CPU for an Intel Dual Core. Before I changed my RAM this morning, it worked perfectly (well as perfectly as Windows allows it), so I guess it has to do with the RAM.
Anyone knows what the hell?
Thanks
