    Ridiculous Lag while playing any game


    First off my specs are:
    Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU 2.66 GHz
    RAM: 4.00 GB DDR3
    64-Bit OS
    Graphics Card: ATI Radeon 4550

    Basically the problem is that, I used to use windows 7 ultimate 64 bit and everything ran smoothly.

    Today, I reformatted my computer reinstalled Windows 7 and my games for example, CS 1.6. However, I noticed my game itself was lagging, extremely choppy it was like playing a frame by frame picture game. So, I looked around everything, all my drivers were installed correctly no errors so far; all updates are installed. Then, I noticed my ping, latency were all fine. I went on youtube, and random online game sites to test if anything else was the problem and they all ran smoothly, no lag, no choppy pictures or anything.

    I need some help, Thanks.

    Try reinstalling the game. Also remove and reinstall your drivers.

    I think this is a driver problem. Uninstall your current video card driver then install the latest driver from a website for your card.

    disable your sound card in device manager and play your game. Does the lag persist?

    Problem fixed. Thanks guys! Apparently after reinstalling windows 7 the problem was fixed. I'm guessing it may have just been an installation problem. Thanks again.

    Glad you solved the problem but, making sure you have the latest Ethernet, video & sound drivers is still a sound idea to avoid future issues with gaming.
