Computer slows down over time? SLi problem or motherboard?

Here's the system:



Abit KN8 SLi



AMD Athlon 64 3200ghz Venice



2x eVGA Geforce 6600GTs



2x Ultra 1 gig DDR 3200 RAM



24-bit Creative Labs Sound Card



300 Gig Maxtor 16 cache HHD



Lite-On DVD-ROM



Lite-On DVD-RW



Samsung Floppy



Xion 600W Power Supply



and a few fans



Basically when I am playing BF2142 (a game), after 30-1hour its slows down to where the came is choppy and it isn't lag, the cd or hd is spinning too. I exit and browsing and opening up programs is slow. I restart and its all fresh again. I know the longer windows runs, it loses speed but this is horrible. I think it might be the SLi??? But this has only started a few months ago. Lately the game will freeze then come back alive again and be all slow.



I have AVG Internet Security and had Zonealarm so I don't think its them.

I would try updating the game to the current patch. It sounds like there is a memory leak, because you are not the only person to have these problems. Here is the current patch http://battlefield.ea.com/battlefield/bf... Don't forget to check the official site frequently to get any more.



You can also try deleting your video cache and let the game reoptimize it. Just in case, the location is ''\My Documents\Battlefield 2142\mods\bf2142\cache'', just delete everything in this folder then start the game and load a map in single player. Dont move the mouse while it is loading/optimizing, just let it do its thing until the map loads up.

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
