I recently shifted my house and during the moving process I decided to chuck the 22" monitor that I had for the time being and connect my PC to a 40" LED TV I have in my living room. All worked well and surprisingly my HD4850 GFX even handled full HD gaming at the regular settings that I used to play without any sort of lag whatsoever. However, after some time I set my room up and shifted the PC to my room and connected it as usual to my 3 yr old Samsung 22" LCD. I booted the system up and there was lag everywhere. From browsing through folders to navigating through tabs everywhere there was lag. The performance monitor on my G15 showed the cpu usage hovering around 30-40% even at idle. Then I tried playing F1 2011 just to check if this issue persisted even with games and I was in for a shock. There was massive lag. Reducing the settings didn't help either. Tested with COD MW2, L.A.Noire and Hot Pursuit 2010 as well. I am simply fed up.
The following solutions were tried out by me,
1) Clean the entire cabinet up. Take connections apart and put everything back in its place very carefully. Cross checked thrice and nothing is improperly connected / left unconnected.
2) Removed ATI drivers. Booted into safe mode. Used driversweeper and reinstalled all ATI drivers but to no avail.
3) Cleaning up all the fans of the PC and making sure they spin correctly without any resistance whatsoever.
4) Taken RAM sticks. Wiped and switched slots. (I don't know how this would help but just wanted to give it all a go)
But all this has been of no use and still the issue persists. I would be grateful if you guys could help me out with this.
My configuration is,
Intel Core2Duo E8400
MSI P45 Platinum
4gb (2x2) Corsair XMS 667MHz RAM
ATI Radeon HD4850 512MB
Cooler Master Extreme 600W PSU
The temps for GPU are @ 60-65 at idle. This is normal and has been same since I bought the PC. India is pretty hot.
The temps for CPU cores are @ 35 and 36 respectively.
