Hello everyone,
i seem to have a problem with my pc.It used to slightly lag on League of legends but now i have lag spikes all the time! I think it started when my motherboard screwed up and i had to change to a cheap one because of money.I searched on the web and they said the motherboard doesn't really affect the performance of the pc. I restarted the computer completely and it still lags. =/ I copied the stats from the beta profile settings in battle net.

OPERATING SYSTEM:
Windows 2.6.1.7600
CPU TYPE:
AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 920 Processor
CPU SPEED:
2.82 GHz
SYSTEM MEMORY:
3.49 GB
VIDEO CARD MODEL:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 SE
VIDEO CARD DRIVER:
nvd3dum.dll
DESKTOP RESOLUTION:
1440x900
HARD DISK SIZE:
1 TB
HARD DISK FREE SPACE:
827.19 GB (83%)

If theres a better place to copy the stats il try and get them

Thanks :D

Well the CPU is drawing a lot of power and probably overheating too. As you can see, CPUTIN and AUXTIN are reaching pretty high temps.

Here are the steps you need to take:
1. Open up your PC while it's running and see if the fan on the CPU cooler is spinning. If not, that's your problem right there.
2. Turn off your PC and blow some dust out of it with a can of compressed air.
3. If there's no change, take off your CPU cooler, wipe off all of the old thermal paste (q-tips soaked in 99% isopropyl alcohol are really good for this), reapply some new thermal paste and put the cooler back in its original place.
