Ok this is pretty weird.

Thing is i when i play a game for some time after a bit i face an extreme acceleration on eveyr game i play(well mostly every game)

Examples:
1.When i start playing san andreas after some while everything goes VERY fast and i miss frames or something.
2. On warcraft again everything goes very fast, when i scroll i get from one map corner to another
3. NFS most wanted: i have some extreme fast acceleration here also..

But there is a thing i cannot understand, i dont get any extreme acceleration when i play
world of warcraft, huh? only some problems when i play on window mode and bubbles from desktop pop up (graphics start screwing here a bit) :/

Thing is i dont know what is causing all theese stuff.. i mostly think its my graphic card but it may also be my cpu?
Please help me, i gave all those money to get brand new stuff and cant play descent :(

GRaphics: Ati Radeon x1800GTO
CPU : AMD x64 x2 3800+
Ram : 2x 512 DDR 400mhz
MB : Abit AN8 32x

anything else please dont hesitate to ask me

What I suggest you to do is try to enable v-sync in the video option to see if you still having problems...

Did you have the latest update for your drivers? Seems like the game is skipping frames and when you enable v-sync, do you enable it in games or in the ATI catalyst driver? Try to do that for both and see if that solves the problem... Usually v-sync is for sync frame with the refresh rate of your monitor.... i.e at 60hz your frame rate will be locked at 60fps... etc...

I enable it in ATi catalyst driver and yeah i got the latest catalyst driver :/

About v-sync thing you are right, i used fraps to check my fps inside the game and noticed that when i played a game and had that acceleration fps were increasing a lot.. dunno what's going on here

i only hope it's a software issue and not a hardware
