Hey guys...i've been having a lot of problems with my video card and everything. right now i have 6 fans total and only 4 are working. the core temp on my processor is 60-63 celcius and its usually down in the 40's and low 50's. im wondering if that has anything to do with my poor frame rate. also i can't get my windows xp style back, its stuck on windows classic...i did a virus scan and its clean. any ideas or suggestions?
 
If the system ran fast and cool with 6 fans running, then suggest that you replace the 2 bad fans.
Also, clean off any dust built up on the fans and heatsinks, and inside the case.
 
ok i got all the dust out and the 2 fans are working again. the temp dropped at least 5 degrees but my framerate is still horrible.

I'm finding it hard to give you an opinion when we simply don't know enough about your system, ie: motherboards/CPU/memory/hard drive/graphics card operating system.
What test are you using to get these frame rates?
