Computer problem DESPERATE HELP

Hello , I current have the Hp pavilion 7965, comes with a p4 1800hz. 512 Sd-ddr ram. I have had this computer for 2 years or so. And finally i decided to seek out help. My problem has exsisted sincei bought the computer and many experts tell me this computer should run the games i have problems with perfectly.

Equiped:
512 Sd-ddr ram
256 Pci Radeon Card <- tried agp to but still same problem so not the pci fault
p4 1800hz
120 refreshrate monitor
< Reformated , spyware cleaned , virus cheked , >
HAVE DONE EVERYTHING.

The main game i have problems with is the OLD Half-life 1 engine Counter strike 1.6 I tried other forums but people cant give me a answer.


The Problem :

While playing counter strike. I can start off with 100 fps. Staring at a wall. As soon as players come into sight. Gun fire starts. My fps can drop to 30-40 and stay steady there untill the action ends. < My old old computer could atleast keep a 50 fps constant>


I have recently heard power supply for older computers is a big issue and just dropped 120 $ on a Antec power supply 430 watts hooked it up and everything and it didnt help AT ALL ! im really desperate and i will offer as much money for a reward if someone can fix this problem. I dont have the cash to buy a new computer. Nor see the reason why i should have to.

Please help me.

 

even tho 30-40 fps is not very much it should be enough to play the game fluently. but u should be getting more. did u try other drivers for ur VGA card? did u get any updates for CS? do u have any similar problems with other games? does this problem persist when u turn down the details or resolution?

 

why are you double posting this?

 

Omega, there's no need to be a jackass. Don't just assume they should know the rules. Just let the new people know to keep everything in one thread.
