Strange lag... please help!
Hey all, I've been having a really obnoxious issue with my laptop recently and the usual tricks aren't doing it. For reference, I'm using an HP G60 laptop (I know) running an Intel Celeron 900 @ 2.2GHz and 3GB RAM.
Whenever I'm browsing the internet, my computer lags something horrible. Every 15-30 seconds it will freeze, sometimes up to 5 seconds at a time. My CPU is normally under a 10-30% load and my RAM hovers between 35 and 45%. If I'm watching a movie, even if it's in a browser on Vimeo or YouTube or something, no problem. Playing online games isn't an issue. My music doesn't skip. Doesn't do it in folders, but it does with a few programs (I think but it's not doing it at the moment, the main issue is the internet). My connection is also fine, not that I think that's it but just in case someone asks I download at 3MB/sec or more if the server can support it. Although my upload ain't too hot... Meh, I still doubt it. Anyways, anyone know what's going on? Thanks!
