Hi people.. Ok this is about my PC... I have over 5 games on my PC. Everytime, dont matter which game, everytime after 10 minutes of playing it starts to laaag. lag.lag! It started suddenly for some weeks ago, i buyed this PC when it was summer. So the PC isnt quite old. Help?
Info about PC:
Windows Vista Home Basic Service Pack 2 32-bit
AMD Athlon(TM) Dual Core Processor 4450e 2.30 GHz
3GB RAM
HP Pavilion
You may want to try the following.
Disable windows search, it may be trying to index files in the background and HD access may cause annoying pauses while playing games.
Check that your anti virus is not running an automatic or scheduled scan when you are playing, this will deffinatley cause jittering.
Are you uning an integrated graphics chipset ? If you are you may want to upgrade to a discrete card AMD 3850 are very cheap and i use mine for Mirrors Edge and Battleforge and it runs great.
Update your graphics card drivers.
Use add remove programs and get rid of everthing you dont use. The apps may have processes running when you are not even using them. iTunes and Quicktime are really bad in this respect.
It you are playing online ensure that you are not running file sharing apps in the background. Also if you share internet access with anyone else check they are not doing the same. File sharing is a nightmare for online playing performance.
Close everything you are not using including IE and Firefox. Flash ads in web browsers can use a suprising amount of CPU time.
Hope this Helps
