Ok, for some apperent reason my computer is acting up. Everytime I try to play a video game on my computer it laggs like crazy, and yes I have turned the settings down. Also, sometimes my internet will give me a "not responding" error. It's just really annoying since I can't play a new game I just got <_<. Anyone know what's wrong?
if you dont have a virus checker, get one. Aspecialy if your PC has been fine up to now. If you have one, and you're clean, try a system restore to a point where everything was working. If you still have issues, my next guess is your video card... - Drivers might be out of date, update them - Card might be over heating, download control software from the manufacturers website and check the temp of ur card. If it's hot it may have been damaged. Also, check your task manager (assuming you're running XP or Vista) Any processes you're not using (that arent System or Local processes) end them.
