    Over the past day, the performance of my PC has decreased like crazy. I used to get 60-100 FPS in DoD:S, and now i get 10-14. Also, i get 0 FPS on the CPU tests in 3D mark 06. General desktop performance has also plumited.

    I've tried new (and old drivers) for my GPU, ran a virus scan and spyware search, but to no end.

    Any idea how to get my PC running how it should do?

    Thankyou

    You could try a system restore point. Look in your task manager and see if there is something there that is taking allot of resources when your system should be at idle.
