[URGENT] I recently bought a new computer, i've had it for 3 weeks, I went on a game and was getting terrible framerates. I looked at my task manager and it showed this: prntscr.com/9t6ylu
Anybody know why??
 
Solution
Few things to check: make sure you have installed your chipset drivers. In msconfig, under the boot option make sure the "number of processors" box is NOT checked.
