Game Lag - Help

Before I reinstalled all on my computer everything worked just fine, but then when I had reinstalled it all, it started to lag i games. ( A weird kind of lag ).... My fps is just fine (100 - 400), but although it lags.

I believe I installed windows and all thing, but I am not 100% sure.. In the beginning I thought it was a driver conflict, but I have tried to reinstall my nvidia drivers and tried using elder drivers but none of it works.

Does it matter if you use "NTFS" fast filesystem ..??



Specifications:

Motherboard: A8N-SLI SE

CPU: AMD 64 X2 4200+

GPU: Asus Geforce 7600 GT

2 MB Kingston Ram - pc3200


Please help . Thanks

I already tried updating all . It's pretty weird I think.

Thanks anyway..

Is your cpu being recognized correctly as a dual core? Also, did you install the microsoft and amd dual core patches? My pc had similar symptoms in some games before I installed the patches.

You can grab the AMD patch here:

Be sure to get the correct version.

You can find the microsoft patch here:

C&Q has been know to effect some games/machines. You can always disable it in your bios to see if it makes a difference.

I have looked for the danish version of the patch, but I can't find it.. (I am from Denmark)...... Do you know anywhere to download it?:S

This may or may not help.

You may need to contact Microsoft for the danish patch.

If the /usepmtimer switch is not in your boot.ini file, you may want to try adding it.

I know that says it's for x64, but it works with 32 bit windows too. In fact, that's what fixed all my problems.

1. Did you try to defrag HDD
2. Could be some software running in the background that’s causing this. Run task manager start game and when the stuttering starts alt-tab to c which one is causing your problems.

There was nothing wrong with my ram. I found out that it is my mouse that is lagging, because when do not move the mouse the game doesn't lag, but then when I do it lags. I guess this is some kind of software problem. Am I wrong?

I have tried both windows and the driver there was with the mouse, it makes no difference. It is an USB mouse, but I have tried putting it in a ps2 adapter, also no difference.

I noticed just now, that the mouse lags less the higher the fps gets. When the fps is on 100 it lags but 400 it doesn't. :? . I think it is very confusing!!
