Hello all!

I have been having trouble with my PC games running to fast. What I mean is they are running at a accelerated rate, so fast that they become hard to play. This does not happen all of the time, something like 50% or so. I should also say that they do not experience frame rate problems, they look very smooth, just way to fast. When the problem happens, it starts from the moment I open the program - like I said, this does not happen all the time.

These are the games I have tried (all with the same problem):

Crysis (lags: speeds up and slow down)

Need for Speed? ProStreet (frequently runs at double time, I can tell because the race timer is running at double time)

Assassin's Creed (Runs insanely fast when it speeds up).

Now for my PC:

Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Professional
OS Service Pack Service Pack 2
DirectX 4.09.00.0904 (DirectX 9.0c)


CPU Type DualCore AMD Athlon 64 X2, 2200 MHz (11 x 200) 4200+
Motherboard Name Unknown
Motherboard Chipset nVIDIA GeForce 6150, AMD Hammer

BIOS Type Award (09/19/06)

Disk Drive ST3500630AS (500 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA-II)

Any help would be very appreciated.

this ISN'T normal. if you was to reinstall windows i doubt you'd have this problem. so this means it is a software/driver problem.

1)try to pinpoint the software. i.e. this problem happened after installing such a driver/software

2) problem: i didn't install anything. it just happened.
solution: do system restore to a point when it worked fine.

3) run a billion programs to slow down your computer :P
