DasReich Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 (edited) Hi guys, well I finally sorted my pc after the last load of trouble...it would appear to be the bios causing the trouble, but also this resulted in a corrupted drive. Think everythings going ok now...fingers crossed. Thing is, I sort of built up a new pc from the old bits and a new mainboard. What Im getting now is when I scroll through a folder with lists of files or a webpage such as on this forum, when I scroll up or down it does it really slowly and jerky. Ive tried going through allsorts of settings and running performance utilites, but nothing changes it. Im sure its something very simple, but I just cant find it, do any of you guys know what the hell Im supposed to be looking for? Dave. ps, it does not do this on a folder with thumbnails of jpegs only folders with lists of for example iso files or webpages.

DasReich Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 how many watts is the psu on this pc Dave? Hi m8. Its got a 600w enermax. Never had this trouble on the old pc, same psu, all thats different is an additional h/drive and a new mainboard and an extra fan. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Is it really slow dragging windows too? Sounds like your graphics card isn't accellerating things properly. Is the performance slider (in display properties) right upto the max level? Could also be that you're on a bad driver. Take a look and see if there's a newer one.

DasReich Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 Hi Lightning. Yep, dragging is slow and jerky too. I loaded all the drivers from the support cd that came with the mainboard, but also checked the nvidia site, but that didnt have anything newer. The card is a GeForce7900 and worked fine in the old puter. Will check the settings again in a bit, might have missed that. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DasReich Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 Right, thing is it was doing the same prior to installing the drivers and just checked and the acceleration is on max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
