You can also try changing what programs launch at start up to see if this help.

Press Windows key + R, type 'msconfig', select startup, deselect all things except anti-virus.

I know that we could inadvertently stop something from starting up you need, but let us diagnose the current issue as we will know the issue to the latter.

Also other things to try:
Scan computer for all types of infections
Test HDD
Test RAM

My cpu while playing empire total war is 45 to 60 percent and my cpu temps while playing for a couple of hours was 60 to 65 degrees Celsius. I have the latest driver for my computer from intel. I've had this same card before and games worked fine. Thanks for the reply.

First I'll turn on my computer then after 3 to 5 minutes it will start to lag. Then ill put it in sleep mode and I'll open it back up and after a while it will lag again. Also I dont know how to check my heat sink. I dont want to take apart my computer without knowing anything. I have a dell latitude D630 if that helps.

I cleaned my computer from all the dust. There was quite a bit of dust in there. When I played the game the only processes that were above 00 was the game empire.exe, whitch was 50, system idle protection whitch was 80, svchost was 6. Taskmgr was 11, explorer.exe was 2, dwm.exe was 2, mpcmdrun.exe was 2, wuauclt.exe was 1, system was also 1. And at this time my cpu was 65 and my physical memory was 41. At this time it is still lagging bad.
