Hey there, I have an issue on my brother's old computer.
When he plays a game and keeps playing for at least three minutes, game is lagging seriously!
Today he tried playing Need For Speed Most Wanted: A Criterion Game with medium to high settings at 1280x1024 Resolution.
As I expected, I saw the game cannot be played and starts to slow motioning and leaves player out of control after a smooth gameplay of three or two minutes.
I advised him and checked GPU Temps, it was 92°C temp and 92% load during playing Need For Speed Most Wanted: A Criterion Game!
I checked its temperatures using GPU-Z and Speccy, all are same and I think they reported correct temperature.
Then, I got his GPU out and removed fans, cleared dust, applied good thermal paste and reseated fans and attached and tested again as I thought this was a GPU Overheating........
Yes, it was overheated but now it isn't, it was still 92% load during gaming and now it's temperature reporting around 55°C ........So overheating resolved, but still same behavior....Lagging and leaves player out of control after three minutes.......

His system specifications:
CPU: Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E8400
GPU: Legend GeForce 9600GT 512MB 256 Bit
PSU: Generic 500W with one 6 Pin connector (May be crappy)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-G41M-Combo (Rev 2.0)
RAM: DDR2 667 (@333 MHz) 2GB RAM
HDD: Hitachi Deskstar 250GB
Case: Generic MIcro-ATX Casing with one Chassis fan
Intel stock CPU Cooler
Please tell me why this lagging happening.
Thanks in Advance.
