Hello all, first time poster here. I am currently running an Abit nf-m2 mobo with 2g of Corsair dual channel ram, along with an Nvidia 7900 gs card, 2 350g SATA hdd's and Windows XP Pro. I have had this up and running for a month now. Suddenly a few days ago, the video on games(Transformers, MS Flight Sim 04, Resident Evil 4, Armed & Dangerous, 3 Splinter Cells and Doom 3) started running at super speed. The audio was normal, just everything else ran ultra fast.

I tried reinstalling them all. I removed several new things that I had installed lately. Checked drivers and such. Even did a couple of system restores to MUCH earlier dates to hopefully resolve this problem, with no luck. Absoultely nothing else on the machine seems to be affected except the games.
I have installed the games on another machine with an ECS board with on board nvidia 6100 graphics 1 g of ram and the games run fine. I am considering a reformat at this point.

Any suggestions on what the problem is and how I can resolve this.

Forgot to add, am running an AMD 4600 dual core proc.

Welcome to Gameapex!

Please explain "Super speed"

Oh yeah, do your regular PC keeping, defrag, scandisc, adware, virus scan.

Dude, your computer is just too fast.

No really, I've seen this happen and the only thing I could figure out was a reformat. Though, you might try out the nvidia driver cleaner and install fresh drivers as a next-to-last resort.

By super fast I mean it is like hitting the 16x fast forward on a movie you are watching. The audio remains normal, but everything else is speed up. I DO religiously maintain my machines, and I have tried the everything mentioned so far EXCEPT the reformat. That I will do tomorrow, if no one else has any other ideas that I have yet to consider. thanx so far guys!!!!
