    you did reinstall your operating system right? im NOT saying that you HAVE TO reinstall (format then install, or even repair install) but it is a lot easier than trying to uninstall old drivers and putting in the new board and getting those ones installed imo. so make sure you reinstall and also i think you should install the latest chipset drivers to work out any bugs that may be in the old drivers. last thing is to defragment and trim down your startup in msconfig and services in services.msc
    my hdd was completely formated and os was reinstalled. so i don't have to worry bout old drivers. msconfig is all tidy already. i can't seem to get this chipset driver for my mobo to work. everytime i install it, my comp freezes, and i can't open any windows. when i do, my explorer.exe goes crazy and takes up 100% of cpu space. and it still won't open. then i tried it withouth installing the driver, and everything is fine. wat up?

    bigdawg fox there is a guide for the services Here (blackviper.com) but its only services not the full guide that adam posted.

    but also go to msconfig and turn off as many startup items as you can, run a spyware program and antivirus which im sure you already have.

    defragment. make your pagefile is a set number. (like say 500mb min, 500max; not 200min- 500max) because it will reduce defragmentation and speed it up becuase it doesnt have to keep resizing. Also put it on a different partition other than your system parition.

    I know that an Intel P4 CPU has a built in protection that will slow it down if pushed too far. Maybe that's the cause of your lag.

    well, rite now it's clocked back down to 2.4

    and @ livy, yes, i've run many burn in tests at 3.2. and played halo and some other pretty heavy games. all worked fine

    try slowly clockign it up, and running the cpu benchmark test, and see if it rises, say go 100mhz at a time, or whatever is easyest. and see if it does go up, and if it a point it starts dropping again

    you may be reading the wrong sensor and the cpu may actually be really hot, but i doubt that...

    ive got a idea, get that wcpuid program and see what clock frequency it is displaying then you will know if it is throttling it down becuase of a heating problem or somehting like that.

    i think there&#39;s something wrong with the cpu. at 3.2, i get 0-5 fps in the troll&#39;s lair cpu test. at 2.4, i still get 0-5 fps in that test. wat do u think?
