Has the computer been running constantly between the two runs? Have you checked it with adaware/spybot? Any other programs running that weren't running before? Noticably hotter today than it was yesterday?

He is running a prescott that is running pretty hot.....I think it is because of thermal guard...so the processor doesn't fry, but if anyone else has an idea....

Sounds like the processor is being slowed for thermal reasons. Also check the processor usage before running the benchmark from task manager.

Yeah, if you were running folding at home while benchmarking that could be your problem....

Lots of things can affect it, file fragmentation, background processes kicking in, temperatures, and more. My advice is to forget about benchmarks and just play games, when you see an obvious frame rate decrease thats when to panic.

Whenever you bench mark stop F@H, but when it's done start it back up so you can keep those work units going.
