Hello Guys,
I have been running the 64 bits version of Vista for some days now, but I am facing a lot of problems.
A few weeks back, when i was still running the 32bit version of vista, everything ran smooth. I could game, chat on msn, browse with mozilla, and use my favorite code editor programs with no lockups, not freezes and no insane lagspikes / framedrops. A few days ago, I decided to reinstall my computer, because it was cluttered with useless stuff, and it gave me explorer crashes every now and then. I went for the 64bit version of Vista Business.
That's where it all started. Running this OS, limits me a lot. I can either update my computer, browse, chat, play WoW, or listen to music, but I cannot do that at the same time, something I could when i was running the 32bit version. I have tried a lot of things. I made WoW run on my 2nd core and my iTunes on the first, I have tried the optimization tool from AMD, I have increased my vid card's memory, all without any success.
When I run World of Warcraft, It consumes the whole second core, and around 95% of my RAM. On my 32bit OS, it used only 20% of both cores together, and 55% RAM.
My hardware should be able to do this, and it has been done. But for some reason, the x64 OS doesn't seem to do any good.
Here is an overview of my computer specs.
I have attached the CPU-Z and the DxDiag results as well.
My question, what should be done to fix this?
Kind Regards,
Patrick van Oostrom
