If this happens frequently then yes it could be an issue with dust/overheating. ThanksÄoes the FPS drop really low for awhile but then clear up, start to play good for awhile, then drop low again? I'm new to forums so I'm not sure if I posted in the right place but I would appreciate any and all help I could get. My Internet runs smoothly and programs and videos are fine, only games. There is nothing other than Norton running in the background and maybe iTunes. Could this be caused by dust building up in my computer? I don't know much about computers, but 8gb of RAM should be able to handle the games I play. When I reinstalled the games and ran them the same thing happened. This happened a few months ago and so I thought it could be some type of virus so I backed up all of my important files, and restored the computer fully.

I probably should have mentioned when I have no windows open the usage will stay at around 2.3 to 2.6 GB without running anything! The CPU usage will vary from anywhere between 20% to 90% and it keeps jumping back and forth.

They become pretty much unplayable and when I check my memory usage it goes up to about 3 GB. When I run Halo CE, Guild Wars, or Oblivion they run perfectly fine for a few minutes then the frame-rate drops drastically. I don't expect it to run the way it did at the time, but I've tried several things to get it to run games faster. I got an HP in 2009 and it ran perfectly back then.
