Running Computer
Why are all games on my computer running slow?
For some reason all games have started running slow on my computer, when i first got it, it could run far cry 2, crysis and call of duty 5 all fine but now all the games i have run really slow. Its not a hardware problem, i have 4 gig of ram, 1 gig graphics card and 2 2.53 processors they all run really slow now though. Does anyone have any suggestions to why this may be. It may be a ram problem i have been looking round and i reckon i have less allocated than what i should.
Computers can run slow for many reasons but before looking for hardware causes or reinstalling your computer from scratch you might want to run through these steps first to eliminate some of the common causes of slow performance.
