Win2k causing Counter-Strike FPS Slow Downs!
I recently obtained a copy of Windows 2000 Proffesional for my GA-7ZX series VIA KT133 Chipset Socket A - AMD T-Bird, 800 MHZ on Windows ME.
After scrubbing my HD for a fresh install of W2K, and successfully installing it, and updating all my drivers (Geforce 2, SB Live!, Intellimouse, HP CD-WRITER 8200, and Via 4 in 1 Drivers), in certain games I am experiencing pulsating slow downs. Almost like an IRQ interrupt signal. Sometimes its every 10 seconds, sometimes 30 seconds. But either way, my usual 99 FPS in Counter-Strike is throttled down to a good 4FPS in regular intervals. I have removed every accessory that I could in an attempt to see what is going on, but nothing has helped. I haven't tried any other games but Counter-Strike. Im down to my last wire here. Any reasons you can think of?
