Goldenjkered Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I was wondering if anyone could help me. I bought a new laptop around 5 months ago (I used to have a desktop), and it was working fine up until around 2 months ago. Lately I've been having these 'lag spikes', which seems to be something to do with the processor. I'll be playing runescape, and all of a sudden the game will get really slow for a good few seconds, then go back to normal. This happens every 2 minutes or so, even if I'm playing in low detail. It happens when I'm playing games like Counter Strike Source too, all of a sudden the game will get really slow for about 10 seconds, maybe less. When I first got the laptop I could run Modern Warfare 2 on high graphics, to give you an idea of how good the graphics card/processer is etc. Anyone have ideas? It's really causing me some problems :/ Whips: 3 Dragon Boots: 15 My 99's: Attack & Cooking Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Goldenjkered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sbrideau Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 How did I know it was a Dell :wall: Quite a few things may be doing this, Going to think about it. I thought about overheating, but I don't think it's the case, or it would stay slow and have the fans run at a higher speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
