    Random lag spikes when playing


    Hello I have a desktop and I am getting random lag spikes when playing games. I play dota 2, starcraft2 and planetside 2. In each game I get lag spikes very frequently to the point that I cant play similar to the ones in the video below. The first 2 months I had internet I had no problems. After that the lag spikes started. At first i thought it was just my internet being slow. I get 25MPS 15 on wireless. I went to my girlfriends house over the holidays she has great internet and I still experienced lag. I dont know her internet speed but I was able to download games, browse the internet and watch netflix with no problems but my games still lagged. I think it may be my computer is their any trouble shooting I can do to fix this. I think it may be the performance of my wireless adaptor I have in my desktop

    Do you have any hardware monitoring software running? I find that sometimes will cause stuttering and slow downs in games.

My laptop has random graphics card spikes and I cant seem to find what is causing it. It doesn't seem to affect any games, it just makes the fan start and stop every other second which is pretty annoying. 177906
