Hi guys, my name is Shinjion. My computer is noob but i'll be here as a part of this community from now on, hoorah.
Anyway, i have a minor problem..maybe major, but meh.
A few weeks ago, while playing Oblivion, i would notice that RANDOMLY, my FPS would drop to like 3(from 40), until i rebooted. I thought nothing of it. I installed it, and all was fine and good. But then i noticed that my hard-drive would chkdsk my storage partition(X:\)
at every reboot; regardless of if it crashed or not, also during the occurance of this apparent HD problem, my FPS was horrible in all games [and note, all of my games are installed on the X drive, which is what Windows was Chkdsking]. So i thought, oh noes. My harddrive went down the dusky road of no return. So i did a /chkdsk. It fixed something; but the box went away before i could know what that something was; then it worked fine. So aside from that, i was told to buy a new power supply. I had a generic 400W PSU that came with my case. My other system specs are;
So i got a new power supply and installed it the other day and all was all fun and stuff. And then that FPS thing started happening again, so now i'm wondering if any of you can tell me what the deal is. Defective card, or defective harddrive?
I thank you all for any help in advance. <3
