    cause theres a sound blaster card the fatality FPS that in some cases it lowers ure frames per second

    wow if its idle at 50c then thats bad cause under heavy load it could go beyond 70c and after 60c the proc starts to slow down

    should i try

    0. Open the game , but don't go any futher than the main menu screen.

    1. Press Alt+Tab to minumize the game in the toolbar.

    2. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up the "task manager" window on your desktop.

    3. Select the "processes" tab.

    4. Scroll down the list and find the games .exe file (make sure you know which one it is) on the list. Then right click on it and select "set affinity"

    5. Uncheck the 2nd CPU on the list.

    6. Close all the windows and click on the game in your taskbar to bring it back up.
