Offline Game Lag

[zidouj]

Hello,

I currently have a big problem on my computer. When i first got my computer a couple weeks ago it was fine for all games and now there is offline game lag. Its too bad to play an games such as Battlefield Bad Company 2 or even Fallout 3. It wasn't there for a while and then suddenly happened I really need a solution thanks.

System Specs:
Alienware m15x
MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Intel Core i7 CPU Q 720 1.60GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M

update drivers, scan for malware (adware, spam, virus), remove unwanted processes(taskmanager).

is there something that you installed just before the 'lag' begun?

yeah i think so... like any video converter and... i think also a Videora iPod Converter hjsplit... should i uninstall hjsplit?

first make sure that it isn't running on the background (task-manager=>processes )
and while you're at it, stop other processes that aren't needed also (like itunes when you dont use it, quicktime,...) a few of those isnt a problem, but a bunch of them might...

oh, since its a laptop: did you played those games when it was plugged in? since the laptop will underclock everything when its on the battery.

yeah i play when its in charge i made a backup so i might just restore and use a system image but thanks ill try what you said before
