Windows 7 64-bit+PR=Lag?

[Darkpowder]

Darkpowders Win7 tip of the day 02.08.09 - Turn off Windows Defender as you should be running a superior spyware-program anyway. Win7 resource monitor shows it uses 25% of CPU time (visible under services section).

services.msc, here i come

*might as well turn off action center as well

For those people testing Win7 more inexperienced than us, just doing a search for "Defender" in control panel will find what you needs, just switch it off from its own control panel.

Hey guyz i hope you could help me with this:
I have windows 7 with 64bit my specs are:

AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor (4 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
8192MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460

my problem is when I try play PR it works perfectly fine at the start but after playing for like 30-40 min i notice a fps drop from average 100 to like 50 then if i play any longer it just goes down to 25-12 and i have to restart my game that it would be normal again.
but strangely when i open Xfire in-game when its like 12 FPS, the game in the back ground runs back up to 100 FPS. I have no Idea whats wrong. My video drivers are updated.

give me any ideas you can think off thank you.

If you'd use a laptop I'd go with messed up power options (lowers CPU freqency etc).

Turn on Resource Manager when playing, then alt-tab into it to check the charts for suspicious signs.

Maybe windows is thinking the pc is idle and start to run some stupid tasks like defragging.


on a side note: you could have opened a new thread for that imo.
