When I play games like UT 2004 and Max Payne2 and GTA Vice City ect. my comp lags like hell. When I played UT 2004 today every time I turn my player it is almost like a slide show. Also when I play VIce City every few min a couple sec pause occurs.Keep in mind I play my games at default settings. I also defraged my hdd.

How can I increase performance?

I see you have a P4 CPU. It has a built in throttleback if improperly cooled. Check your temps.

How the hell do I do that?

Restart your PC and as soon as it starts press the [del] key to enter the BIOS. There is 'health status' there.

I diden't see a health status but my grafix card is at 45 degreez C

EDIT: does that help?

download a program that checks your temps when your computer is running, although it is not as accurate as the bios
