My computer is acting up.

I had it upgraded in early July, it ran fine, but a problem came up. My sound got distorted sometimes, and I experienced a lot of lag on my end, computer slowdown I mean, so I re-installed XP, and it got good again, then after reinstalling xp a bunch of times it wouldn't work, but finally now it's working the way it's supposed to.

But there's a little problem.. I'm getting like around 5 fps in source games, especially the horribly optimized one: TF2. I'm getting less then 10 fps in that game, and less then 25 in TFC. plus it stutter lags online. Other games, they're slow in general.

Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 @ 2.40GHz
4GB RAM
9800 GT 1GB
2.40GHz

Also, before I ask what you guys recommend, what's the proper way to removing a driver? I have version 182.42 of my nvidia driver installed, and the newest one is 190.62.

I already format'd a bunch, checked for viruses, cleaned my fans, restarted a bunch, and what not. Should I uninstall System Pack 3?
