Ok, I have tried and tried to find out the problem with my computer...but to no avail. I have so far changed my motherboard, my soundcard, my harddrive, my operating system and my graphics card and I am still getting the same defects and freezes but they are worse now.
For example I got Borderlands today, tried to play it this evening and it just keeps freezing up, sometimes hardlocking etc... The cutscenes at the start are fine and run very smooth but when I get to the point where I take control it all goes pearshaped.
I installed Windows 7 yesterday and installed the 64-bit version as I wanted to take advantage of the 4GB of RAM I have. It's been running fine for everything except games and downloading things and for some reason my download speed is much lower when using Windows 7 compared to XP.
I have tried numerous measures to try and counteract the problem such as updating my graphics drivers and then rolling back to previous ones, running games in XP SP3 compatibility mode and Vista SP2 mode and rebooting my computer etc... but nothing has helped.
I have no idea what to do or where to go next. The only things I haven't changed on my computer are my power supply, processor and RAM. (which I changed last year)
Does anybody have any idea as to what is wrong or how I could fix it? I only got a replacement graphics card the other day, which is an OCX instead of an OC2, thinking that would solve the problem but it hasn't. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :(
