Hello,
I have a out of the box Dell Inspiron 620, with a new fan and an Nvidia GTX 550 Ti graphics card for gaming, that is the only upgrade I have made. I am having some issues, though. My computer (either right at start-up, or in heavy gaming) will start to lag, and by lag, I mean everything lags. My sound starts going all slow-motion and VERY static-y, very hard to listen to music. My mouse skips behind, making it hard to scroll a site and click things. My keyboard is very unresponsive (I can type a whole sentence and it will miss many letters.) And finally, my game I am currently playing feels like it has about 20 of the same game running causing my FPS to go to 60 down to 20 FPS. Only things I can think of are my PC is over-heating, but it happens right at start-up! Also, it could be a virus...but I have ran so many scans it isn't funny. If you have a scan you think could help, please let me know. The lags spikes cause my CPU usage to skyrocket to almost max, which isn't right. Also, I have 4 gigabites of RAM, and sometimes just at start-up when nothing is running at all, 2 gigs of it are already gone/being used...I haven't even ran anything! If I think of anything else that occurs, I will be sure to post. But yeah, I am not sure if this is a common thing or what...but if you have any idea what's going on...please help! It is making gaming/watching videos/typing a paper 1000x more annoying than it should be. Thanks!
