Assuming you're playing a game.

Are you using a network cable or wifi signaal to play online games?

If using wifi check the strength of the signal and do a speedtest.

If using a cable, check if the cable is working or try another network cable to test.

And maybe check your driver of your network card.

Question from Josh_149 : "random lag spikes"





If you are getting lag spikes, I would not only resolve it to be a hardware problem, but also a networking problem. Have you installed any new internet services or has anyone tampered with your network settings?
