something is most likely running in the background. thats a pretty old pc so anything that starts hogging resources is going to bog you down pretty bad.

+1^ its probably something in the background, not so much of a fast processor....

Perhaps you can try one of those programs like gamebooster, they shut down some processes to save up CPU usage

Hi

You realise how low end that card is these days, I am surprised you can play those games at all...

All the best Brett

Brett raises a valid point, your card is kind of ancient, either way the minimum requirements for your games are as follows:

League of Legends - ANY Direct X 9.0 Card
Battlefield 3- FX-5700 or Radeon 9500 (you have the 9700)
Guitar Hero 3 - Geforce 7600 or Ati X800

Technically you have met the minimum requirements to run those games which is why you can play them. Your processor is also more than enough for those games. Now relating back to what Brett said, if you were to play Battlefield 3 or Skyrim then your computer will be annihilated by those modern games. If you plan on gaming in the future then do consider a serious upgrade :lol:

Edit: Just to let you guys know, I got the system requirements from these sites

WHOOPS!!!! I meant to say Battlefield 2 NOT 3, there is no way BF3 would work on a FX-5700 or Radeon 9500 :lol:
