direc x 9,0c
for some reason when i play Counter Strike i get horrible performance. I run it at 1280x 800 which is nothing because i used to be able to run it at 1920x1200 with a little OCing. now i get less than 30FPS on avg with 1280x800 i dont have too many things running in the BG, my HDD's are DEfragged. i also noticed that instead of showing DIRECT X 9.0c in the VIDEO tab it now just shows DIRECT X 9.0 ! what is going on here? any solutions?
THanks
You may want to read this http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=insp_video&message.id=134515 it is more then likly heat and yout processor may need replacement.The first thing to do id check for fan failure in the thermal control page.To do this reboot when the dell logo pulls up pressFn+Z+R and check the log for fan failures and us the caned air as mentioned .

Hey thanks alot guys, i thought that heat might have been an issue too! since i have owned the PC for a little over a year. should i buy the CPU thermal compound and apply some of that to the CPU? ( I heard DELL skimps on the Compund while building their computers) I will def used the compressed air as i have been doing for a while now. Any thing else?
