- I'm not really updated of the happenings. I was confused what modhatter6811 said about the "viruses cannot be deleted". Thanks for the Info Mr. Moderator - I do have "Microsoft Security Essentials Anti-Virus" and do agree that it's "fairly good".

-hmmm...I did not consider power supply a problem. Maybe it do needs checking. Maybe it does add my performance problems. I'll go check it out when I get home. :ermm: -Nah! It's not a silly question. You gave me a suggestion. A new problem which is good! because as I diagnose it later, It will add to my learning experience! -I did not know how hard it is to maintain a desktop than laptop. :pinch: My laptop is 5 years and counting.

Viruses - :sad: Do you have any suggestions on how to get rid of these viruses? We all know that would be very impossible and since you stated that even "reformatting the hard drive does NOT get rid of all viruses". CPU - thanks for the info. That I do not know about the maximum safe load. Like I said my CPU is still ok. CPU temp stays on 40ish Celsius. :geek: - The one shooting up to 80ish is my GPU. I don't know the lifespan of the GPU. :ermm:

@Werne and @ermacos I researched about temperatures and landed on "NVIDIA INSPECTOR". and watched a video from youtube that this app will help increase performance. I tried what the video suggested, and tried playing skyrim and other games, it all went smoothly. What do you guys think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syE55-jEzb8.

GPU AND CPU temp -I did some temp checking on CPU and GPU... -CPU is ok and I don't know GPU. when playing my temp from 40ish Celsius to 80ish Celsius..that's normal right? -I guess my thermal pastes are due..I will replace them and do some few cleaning. SKYRIM Setting -Before the problem. My Skyrim Settings on High. I guess it's the mods too.

Virus -well...I had my pc reformatted..virus won't be a problem. Skyrimpref files and ini -I did some modifications and I have back-up to return things back to normal other game -I did try AVP and Dark Souls: Prepare to Die

Thanks for replying! Really appreciate it! - Yup! I did installed the latest Nvidia Driver. So I did tried installing the 314.22. Used uninstall tool and ccleaner to completely remove the previous installed nvidia driver. - I tried playing Skyrim it was good at first. it stabled to 60fps then 58.....45...43.....51....34.....23. - I'll do a "trial and error" again.

I would like to apologies if this Topic is already been posted because I'm desperate in need of help. :sad: Sorry for my bad grammar or spelling. :geek: PROCESSOR: Intel Core i5-2500 (3.3G) 6mb 32nm MOTHERBOARD: Asus P8H67 LE H67 V/S/GL RAM: Kingston 8GB 1333 ddr3 HARD DISK: Western Digital 1.0TB (Black) VIDEO CARD: Inno3D GTX550Ti 2gb ddr5 192bit hdmi My PC is 3 years old :blush: I was weird out that my games (games only) suddenly slowed down. I did not experienced this before. I did some trial and error, still problem occurs. Here are the following: 1. Formatted the PC (I thought this will answer my prayers) :dry: 2. Skyrim.ini and Skyrimpref.ini tweaks (don't worry had back-ups) 3. Lowered Skyrim Graphics and Display (Even in 1280x720. Even in MWO, Hawken, AC:Revelations) 4. FPS tweaks (Read some forums, and was thinking it was FPS problem) 5. No more Skyrim Mods (Sad :sad:) I would like to save some game quality like sustaining 1600X900 or sustaining mods. What should I do? Any suggestions? Would you say my Vidcard is dying or something? :confused: Your comments / suggestions will be greatly appreciated. :laugh:
