Have already tried the above to no avail. I think it's an incompatibility with HP Pavillion laptops, as on other forums HP owners report the same problem.

It's weird though, if you run it in a window and have it going behind a window, the menu's run at full speed, but when the Gears of War window is in the foreground it's using less than 50% of both CPU's and runs 1 frame every 5 seconds.

The problem might not only be with Gears of War in regards to HP Pavilion laptops. I'm attempting to run Star Wars Galaxies on a DV6000 and have never been able to play it for longer than a minute without crashing.

I sure didn't want to hear that. Is HP doing something wacky with its nVidia chips that's causing such instability?

I've fixed it!! Finally found a post on Tom's Hardware http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/98898-25-gears-problems Run msconfig click the startup tab, disable all and reboot. I haven't gone through each program to find out which caused the problem ( and I didn't have powerDVD in my list ), but I can now run Gears of War at a good frame rate!!
