Hello everyone!
I have a really annoying problem with my pc which noone have been able to solve. And its pissing me off now :/ So here it is:
My pc (a decent one, 3 years old.. 2-2.5 years old when problem started) have annoying pc-lagg. The pc suffer from huge delays both in windows (when starting a program) and when i play games. It takes several seconds to start just firefox even if i only have winamp running and unrar'ing a 700mb file took me yesterday 8 mins which normally would take 1.5 min. When i play Unreal tournament online do i lagg badly. I have ping between 30-3000 where the ping spikes comes when someone is entering my screen (which is always since its a fast game) and then does my pc not recieve any packages from the server at all.. it drops to 0/sec and then goes back to normal again after a while when my pc have caught up with the packages it should. But the thing is then is that im not on the same spot anylonger... and im mostly dead.. and when im dead then does it sometimes takes about 2 secs to respawn (where just a click from my mouse just should do it).
Now u think it would be the isp which is ****ing it up, but its not. The same problem is caused when i play Neverwinter nights (rpg) offline. All the time when i open a door where monsters hides behind in the new room, then does my pc freeze. It takes again a few seconds for my pc to catch up and during that time have the monsters moved. So i have to pause the game each time i face new monsters just cause otherwise might i end up in a sticky position.
U may now think its caused by my graphiccard, but i must say no there also. My graphiccard's fan got broken awhile back and it got overheated cause of that and i had to buy a new card. But the same problem remains, nothing really changed. So its not it either.
So this is what i have done:
-Changed graphiccard
-Changed networkcard
-Talked to isp
-Talked to Dell (where i bought the pc)
-Reinstalled my pc about 10 times since the problem started
-Used different programs to check for problems with my pc without finding anything.
-Switched main-HD to let windows use D-HD instead of C as memory and also installed UT on that HD instead to see if it was the HD which caused the problems. But of course not.
The only thing is see which might cause this is either my motherboard or my power supply. But since im a noob when it comes to pc then do i not know :(
I really appreciate any thoughts from anyone. This have been pissing me off (and others since i do lagg which causes me to be to hit when i play online ;) ) a long time now. And its getting worse all the time. So i wanna know whats the problem is before my pc finally collapse cause it might be harder to figure out the problem then.
