Thunderbolt 2864 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) Ok guys, I really need your help here.I have this annoying lagging problem. I don't know why, but when I start the computer and boot into Windows, every now and then my computer becomes all laggy. I check the CPU Usage and it goes high and down each second. Like when I play music, for example, when a song plays "Infinity" it would be like this "Iiiii...ffffin...iiitttyyy" with the annoying lag. I formatted by computer and it didn't help either. Please help me out here, thanks. Edited September 14, 2006 by Thunderbolt 2864 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoNoise Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 **** those pills... Hmm.. Updated everything? Including DirectX and Drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbolt 2864 Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 Yep, I updated everything, drivers, directx, still the same. I dual boot both XP and 2003 and the problem persists. Probably got something to do with my video card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoNoise Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Hmm... Have you overclocked or anything like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroshift Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) I had the very same problem some time ago, turned out to be one faulty RAM module, so here's what I suggest: run memtest86 and see... Also you may try to clean the dust that accumulates around the CPU and the RAM slots. Edited September 14, 2006 by nitroshift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbolt 2864 Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) No, I did not overclock anything, though one time I did, I had to set it back to its default settings.I'm currently using my onboard video, and everything is working well, for now.I'll try to run a memory test, thanks for the advice.
