Right to the point... In every game I own I get these little 1-2 second LAG SPIKES. Like I can't move, or shoot. Just a quick freeze, and then right back to normal. This mostly happens at the wrong times with my luck (flying in BF2, or Gun battle in COd4). It's not GFX or CPU lag or RAM. But I can't really say.. Some say it might be my ISP? But How do I know for sure? Is there a way I can check? Program maybe? Please, Help me here.. Im desperate. Every game, every day. BF2, BF2142, CoD2, CoD4, all my games.. I get these little lag spikes or whatever you want to call them Thanks My SPECS: Intel Quad Core Q6600 2GB RAM 8800GTX COX ISP Provider.
I used to have that problem as well. Are you behind a router? If so, you probably have to open the correct ports for the games.
Old? Eh no... The 8800GTX is still the #1 Card out there.. The Q6600 Quad Core came out in 07... It aint my hardware dude.. I will try that D4rX. I almost forgot to check that.
he was, though the GTX is techncially only the number 2 card and the core 2 quad arch did technically come in 06. check back ground services. and to be blunt, it might be the ISP, i you're getting lag at times which are demanding on net bandwidth well...
Try this, as it fixed my problem Right click My Computer Click Manage Select Services and Applications Select Services Scroll Down until you find Wireless Zero Configuration Disable it Play games w/o lag
Does it happen in LAN mode or Single player e.g: create a server and try and play, if its fine, its networking problems
You could pour some vegetable oil into your PC... cos it might be overheating. The oil will cool it down. Also, you might try uninstalling paint, and then going into task manager and end the process "explorer.exe". This usually fixes all problems. Also, is a firewall doing it? If so, grab a fire extinguisher and put it out. Those things piss me off so much.
