Hey there!
I really need some help. So I was playing CoD Ghosts with my friend, and we were about to begin a private match. The loading bar in the bottom right of the screen, i noticed the 4 dots that are above the loading bar were extremely laggy, and the game wasn't loading. I had to go right after the game started loading, so I had to wait for the game to load so that I could leave. My computer was very laggy at this point, and eventually a mouse cursor showed up on the screen, the cursor that's the blue circle only. It was sometimes smooth, and sometimes very laggy moving the mouse. I also noticed my hard drive use light constantly on, not even flashing. I tried Ctrl + Alt + Delete, so that I would be able to open the task manager, but it took a long time for the menu to load. It first gave me a black screen, with a normal cursor, then I got a red screen with a cursor (red being my start menu colour) and then eventually the menu came up with a very laggy cursor. Then I clicked on the back button, and then CoD Ghosts went the white colour that a program would go if it stops responding. The white colour took a long time to come up, first a little bit, then a little bit more, etc. When it eventually came up, Windows told me that the process had stopped responding and asked me whether I wanted to end the process, instead of the normal message telling me the program stopped responding and I can close the program, or wait for it to respond. I clicked end process, which closed the game. I then saw that there was an iTunes update, and when I tried to close the window, it wouldn't. Also Skype was open ao I could talk to my friend, and skype wasn't responding either. My mouse was still very laggy, and when I managed to roll it over the task bar, nothing would give the normal effect to say that the cursor is over it, it just wasn't responding, but on a few frames the effect was shown. At the time, I had RealTemp open, and of course it was not changing the reading on the taskbar, but it said 38 degrees celcius. I usually have about 40 - 45 degrees celcius after leaving a game, so I think it may have been a reading from an earlier time. I also had Asus GPU Tweak open, which was monitoring my GPU. I had also used the program to change my fan speen from 20% to 50% before I opened the game. In the end, I had to turn off my computer by holding the power button, and then when I reached round to the back of my computer to turn it off at the power supply as well, I noticed itwas much warmer that usual. I haven't turned my computer back on yet, so I'm hoping that it's going to work. All this has never happened before, so I would like to know why and how I could stop it from happening again.
My system specs:
CPU...........: Intel Core i3 3240 3.4 GHz
CPU Cooler: Stock Intel Heatsink
GPU...........: Asus R7 260X DirectCU II OC
RAM...........: Corsair Vengeance LP 1600 MHz (however running at 1333 MHz due to my motherboard only supporting up to 1333 MHz RAM)
PSU............: ACE 650 W
HDD...........: Seagate Barracuda 500 GB
I also have a Corsair AF 120 fan mounted in the front of my case, and that's the only case - mounted fan.
I know it was a long post to read, so well done for getting this far!
Thanks for all your help!
