Constant Freezing

I have been having constant trouble when attempting to play a game, as soon as I begin to play, everything begins to lag up pretty badly, and then at a random moments the game completely freezes up. I do this very constantly, the longest I was able to play Zelda Twilight Princess was 2mins without freezing. I noticed the speed shows at the top and the moment it freezes the speed hits up to 5000%. This doesn't include the audio randomly freezing up as well, which causes later problems with the game. I have no clue what is going on, and i'm getting very irritated, is it just my computer?

Sounds like your freezing issue may be due to overheating, the CPU may be throttling itself. What are your temps when you play the game? You can check them with programs like Real Temp and Core Temp.

Your settings look fine for the most part. You can disable LLE on Thread since you're using HLE audio anyway.

I used Real temp, and this is what it's like when I first start it, everything is fine

This is how it is once it freezes, and you can also see the speed as well at the top.

Whoa, you weren't kidding when you said it reached up to 5000% :p Your temps look fine, so I was wrong about that being the issue. Anyway, to keep your game speed in order, uncheck "Limit by FPS"; this is more accurate. Also, set your Framelimit to "Audio". Again, this is more accurate. Changing both of these settings might help to keep the game's audio and video synced, which might be the cause of your problem. At the very least, it's something to try.

Yay, it I have yet to freeze now, thank you for your help, although the audio disappears every so often and replays and becomes annoying. Everything works perfectly fine now. c:
