Hi,
My Windows 7 PC was working great about 2 weeks ago. I got a base fps of 40 or above on mid/high settings in games like Aion, Cabal Online, Battlefield Bad Company 2 (singel player), Half-Life 2 (singel player) etc. NOTE: the problems that I know people have with this kind of lag is with online games but I have this lag with both, singel player no internet required games and online.
Recently when I have played, I get a periodic lag. At startup everything works good, but after 5 minutes or more, the lag comes in. NOTE, again: the people having this kind of issue have the lag about 1-20 second but I have it 4-10 minutes and then the fps is high again (usually 35+).
"What do I mean periodic lag?"- I mean that every 5-10 minutes this horrible lag comes wich drops the fps to 2-10. And after 5-10 or more minutes the lag dissapears. And again after 5-10 minutes the lag appearsand so on... I have noticed that if my pc is on more then about 6 hours there is no lag anymore. :S
So, can anybody explain what is the problem?
I have thought of reinstalling my windows but its a lot of work to me since I have so many games and programs installed. Maybe there is a different way. Also I have AVG ani-virus (scanned viruses with it - none to be found exept false poisitves) and PC Tools firewall. Also defragmented my hdd and still no good.
My pc info:
MOBO: EliteGroup Computer Systems NFORCE6M-A
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core 5000+ 2,6GHz
RAM: 3GB (3x1GB)
GRAPHICS: Nvidia Geforce 9500GT 512mb
Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit
HDD 1: 320gb (real size 297gb)
HDD 2: 320gb (real size 297gb)
Looking forward in receiving a reply and than you in advance,
Henri
