I like BenQ monitors.
and its weird you have 511 MB of RAM.


On topic: So anyways, is that 6200 onboard video or an external card? It seems to me that you are a victom to overheating (I am also having a similar problem) after about an hour of play your card or video device is reaching higher anf higher temps untill it begins to fail - when it fails it has to repeat commands several times untill it gets them right thus resulting in slowdown.

You should keep track of the temperature of your video card - and here is what seperates the men from the boys - AND your north bridge chipset as that is what transfers your video info from ram to processor to videocard.

Your chipset heatsync may not have a fan and it could be getting hot. So could your video card - i have seen either. You may just need an extra case fan, a dust cleaning out, and possibly a chipset fan.

Worst case - $20 with shipping for everything

Which means you must open up your computer, put a new fan in, and clean it out (In short form, and easier to understand)
