Asus G1S + XP + WoW

I seem to be having hiccups in World of Warcraft now. I had reformatted to XP for the 3rd time after slipping my own version of XP.

It played beautifully on 169.09 drivers, and on the old installs. Now I did my own, everything works great, all drivers are working, and I tried 169.09 and it hiccups in WoW, it stutters. I tried 169.21, still stutters/hiccups.

I am not sure what would cause this , as its a clean install.

I run in WoW on my mount, and every other step it stutters now. Even when walking....very odd, its basically unplayable like this, I had not tried any other games, and suggestions?

Let me add one more thing : It does not do it for about 20 seconds, then, once warmed up, it seems to start doing it. By warming up, I mean the GPU is hotter (I can hear the fan now).

GPU temps = 70 or so idle, 95 or so full load.

 

See, another G1S user with exact the same high temperatures (also like my G1S)
I think this proves those temperatures are just NORMAL
see this topic if you think WTH is he saying

I got vista but i also had one time (i did a clean install) and counter-strike source was stuttering, i just installed the same driver AGAIN (clean install) and problem was solved

 

Yeah, but I tried new drivers...the 169.21 ones. I am not worried about 'high temps' (though that constant fan is annoying).

I was thinking maybe something in BIOS regarding the GPU?

 

Well, I'm on the 169.21 driver to now and when I installed it counter-strike: source was stuttering.
I also asked on this forum what it could be and they said: Do a clean install again (same driver), i did that and my stuttering problem was solved

Just try to install the 169.21 driver AGAIN

 

What is a quality way of removing the driver then? To make sure all of it is gone?

 

Let me add that the temp is in Celsius... 190degrees in F?! that seems VERY high to me.

 

No it's pretty normal.... in a notebook.

My C90S can stand 3-4 hours of gaming under 110C on the GPU no problems (CPU wich is not even an inch away stays at 66 =/)

 

but this had never happened before...I will try the clean install of my drivers, see if that helps. Prior to the reinstall, I was at a lan, gaming for more then 12+ hours on it with zero issues!

 

okay, I have reinstalled the 169.29 driver 3 times now, with the same issues...itll work great for about 30 seconds, and then once the fan kicks in(basically it gets hotter) it starts to be choppy...HM


I tried underclocking the CPU as well, with no luck.
