Issues with the AMD Athlon™ 64 x 2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ 3.11 GHz

[KelM]

Hello, I'm new here and I have a problem. I have a processor AMD Athon ™ 64 x 2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ 3.11 GHz and I have a problem that games run really slow, you know what I mean (sometimes good, sometimes bad) and well I have an NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT graphics card and I don't know where the problem is. In the last few days I've been thinking that it might be the processor's fault because most of the time it exceeds 60-70% of the CPU and barely with no windows open (not to mention with games...) as you can see here ImageShack - Online Photo and Video Hosting that I don't know what's wrong with it that it goes up and down and at that moment I only had the internet open and..well I don't know… what do you guys think

If you want to play in conditions you will have to change the motherboard, RAM and graphics card at least. Relax details and start putting money in the piggy bank, you don't have to spend a lot to significantly improve that equipment but watch out, if the power supply and/or the case are weak it may also be worth changing them, it can even become essential if the power supply is weak in power and quality.

Hello
I would improve the cooling, that temperature is exaggerated in that processor without OC even if it's summer. Clean the heatsink, which is probably dirty, and change thermal paste if necessary.
After that I would look into changing the power supply (if it's bad) and the graphics card. With those modifications I managed to get a system running with a processor almost identical to yours, a little worse.

PD: Formatting and leaving the system clean can also be helpful.

I cleaned it 1 week ago and it was full of dust, so I cleaned it and changed the paste and lowered the motherboard by about 20-25º. Then it's been about 1 month since I formatted it for that reason but it's still the same. The power supply is a "Xilence XP420 Power 420W PASSIVE PFC - ATX 12V 2.2". And it has 4 of ram (the pc). But I don't know if it's the fault of the graphics card because if the processor works at 100% and that's when the games go slow (because when it goes down to 20-30% the games run considerably well) then it wouldn't be a problem of the processor and I don't know if I would have to change the processor or the cooling and I don't know these are my recent temperatures ImageShack - Online Photo and Video Hosting

If it is already clean and formatted it should go better, unless something is broken.
I doubt it is the processor itself, because a processor either works or does not work, but it cannot "work intermittently" as far as I know.
You should look in the task manager, in the processes section, which process uses the most CPU when it hits those peaks of 100% usage, and thus find out if you have any corrupt program/file that is messing up the performance.

PD: in the photo I see temperatures a bit high but not dangerous, attributable to summer if anything.

Well I don't understand it either, I'll put a photo and see what you think but watching a video on youtube that gets stuck at 100% and the video is seen in pieces I don't think it's the most normal thing ImageShack - Online Photo and Video Hosting

What operating system do you use?

[KelM]

win 7 ultimate

[Kernel1.0]

… piratilla edition

[KelM]

pirate… well.. but it's activated and with all its actus and service pack 1 --> ImageShack - Online Photo and Video Hosting

Moderators, don't give a warning to this good man that Uncle Kernel has pulled the tongue out of him xD

[KelM]

Well, excuse me, I see that you don't work with pirated things, but the reason I deleted the Windows that came with and installed another one that a friend gave me is the one I mentioned

[KelM]

I hope you are not upset with me for having a non-original windows

[Sylver]

Don't worry man, we won't say anything to the police the fault is with the guy Kernel1.0 who is very good people and is dedicated to trolling, but he is getting more control if you have windows 7 it should work well, it's not normal that it crashes those peaks of 100% CPU usage.
It must be something you have installed that works badly or that is "corrupt" and that's why it crashes those jerks, but basically that computer should work well with a clean windows 7 and the components it has.

[Obione]

No man no, but don't bring up the topic of piracy that is usually prohibited in the forums, then Sinde comes and just seeing her is scary :ugly:

if it's the processor's fault I would be willing to buy a new one but I have my doubts because my motherboard is supposed to only work with amd and I heard that amd is not at its best right now, but I don't know, among the ones I saw I liked one AMD Phenom II X4 965 Quad-Core´´ and another thing my socket is 1 socket am2+´´ would I have to change the motherboard if I want to buy the processor I put above?

[Sylver]

Before buying a new processor I would change the entire platform (motherboard + processor + memory) and throw in the rest until I saved up.

[KelM]

as a platform? do you mean motherboard?

[Kernel1.0]

yes, motherboard, processor and memory. I mentioned the windows issue because it might have some malware embedded (I'm that paranoid), check if the XP you had before does the same thing, you don't have to delete anything to install it on another partition or on another hard drive to test.

[KelM]

I had win7 but it was the same so I formatted it. And regarding the components they are telling me to buy a new motherboard + a new processor + new memory (ram?)??
