Computer lags during installation

by jballen . Updated 18 years, 9 months ago

Ever since I reinstalled windows,whenever I install any software from a CD, my computer’s framerate drops to an almost unusable level, and my audio (music, windows sounds, etc) plays choppy and at half speed. When i say half speed, i mean it’s almost like listening to music with the “play speed” option set to .5 instead of 1.0, only it doesn’t just apply to music, but every sound my PC makes during installation.

This issue has nothing to do with my hardware; I didn’t have this problem the first time I had windows on my PC, and I haven’t made any hardware changes since.

I tried reinstalling and reformatting twice, but to no avail, which points to a hardware issue, but like I said, it worked before, and I haven’t made any changes.
