I have been having lots of weird software problems with my 32-bit programs.
Most noteably are the games where the software will run normally for 5-10
seconds and then speed up as if the game is running twice as fast as it
normally should, it will do this for 5-10 seconds and then go back to normal
and repeat.
The videogames I have noticed this on so far are
-Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
-Star Wars: Jedi Knight II
-Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
I also notice the same problem in flash apps that run in my Firefox browser.
The animation will speed up and slow down. Obviously I haven't had extensive
testing with where this orginating from or why it is doing this but believe
me I have made sure that there aren't any other programs running while I use
these programs (unless there is something running that I am not seeing). The
funny thing is sometimes the software will run just fine and then I will hit
a loading transition in a game it will go out of whack; restarting my
computer fixes the problem usually. The system I am running this on was
purchased in June of this year with 1 gig of RAM, an AMD 64bit Dual Core
Processor +4600, and a new ATI graphics card. Could this have something to do
with AMD's dual processor set-up in their chip? Any info on this weird
problem would be much appreciated, thanks.
