    Hi,
    I have an Alienware Area-51 M9750 with 2.33ghz T7600 and duel SLI GeForce 7950 GTX graphics cards and just recently when ever I play a game and a point in in the game where their is a large battle and a lot is going on my FPS drop dramatically like on BF2142 in an orbital strike the framerate would be at 90 and then drop to about 12-15 FPS and it would stay like that until about 20-30 seconds after the orbital strike. Or on COH in a battle the FPS would be at 55 then drop to 4-6 and stay like than until i go to a spot where their is nothing going on for about 15-30 seconds. I tried using different graphics drivers and different power setting but i cannot fix the problem. would anyone know what is happening? Thanks

    Also i have got a 3d mark score of 9506 but now it only gets about 8200.
