when i first built my new amd 64 bit comp, everything was working fine, until the other day i was playing a game and the power supply died. at first, i figured that all i would have to do is replace the power supply and everything would work fine. well, everything did work fine exept for one thing, when i would play games, everything would appear to be running in slow motion. this was in every game, and even in the ati demos i downloaded. i checked all the video card settings and everything looked fine. in the process of trying to fix it, i found that if i change my bios settings to "optimized defaults" every thing would run normally, but the computer would crash randomly when playing games. but when i set the bios to "performance defaults" everything would slow like before, but there would be no comp crashes. i compared all the settings in "optimized" to "performance" but had no luck in finding what was causing the problem. so i assumed that something must be wrong with the hardware. i went and got a brand new motherboard, cpu, and video card. after a put everything in, reformatting, and getting new drivers, i still had the exact same problem. so i did a memory test on both sticks and came up with no errors. i tryed putting in one memory stick at a time, but no luck. i checked the harddrive for bad sectors. after trying all that and replacing almost all of the hardwire, reformatting, and reinstalling the drivers, i am completely out of ideas.
any help is appreciated.
