Lag with video games

[DrNick]

I don't get it I've tried everything people have told me here what else is there its very frustrating.

 

[DrNick]

Can anything else be done?

I have the same problem with fear combat.
My problem come from the mouse (G9) and keyboard (G15) of logitech.
Do you have any of the 2 devices;

 

[DrNick]

I have a wireless mouse from logitech

 

[DrNick]

I think, could just be microsoft

 

[DrNick]

No one knows?

 

[DLG]

[Fumz]

Please fill in your system specs and operating system.

... what he said.

 

[DrNick]

I already did somewhere. I have:
Dell, I stated with Vista but had a free uprade
IDT Audio
Nvidia Geforce 8400 G I think, the graphics are fie
Intel Duo Core Prossesors
2814 RAM Free
What else?

 

[Frostmourne]

If you have updated drivers, DirectX, the only things left are software conflicts and hardware - are your temperatures running hot? What antivirus?

 

[DrNick]

how can I tell if I'm over heating? I have Mcafee virus scanner.

 

[Frostmourne]

Kill McAffee - use a removal too if available and switch to Microsoft Security Essentials. Then use HWInfo32 to monitor and post your temps - is this a laptop or desktop? Uninstall any system cleaners or similar performance apps.

 

[DrNick]

Alright MCaffee is gone but how do I tell if I'm over heating in HWInfo32?

 

[DrNick]

Actually I got how hot my computer is this is what it read in Celsius:

CPU Digital Thermal Sensor
CPU#0 Core0 Value: ~54.0-52.0 Min: 52 Max: 60
CPU#0 Core1 Value: ~51.0 Min: 50 Max: 63


nVidia MCP
MCP Tempurature Value: ~61.7 Min: 61.3 Max: 64.2


S.M.A.R.T.
Toshiba MIK3255GSX Value: 35.0 Min 35.0 Max: 35.0

This is what I had, and the numbers were switching just a little bit during then but still in the same basic tempurature

 

[Frostmourne]

That seems OK - GPU a bit hot but otherwise fine - I'd test the hardware now - schedule chkdsk by right clicking your drive and in the tools, tick both boxes and reboot. Then run Memtest 86+ for one pass. Post back the results.

 

[DrNick]

Right clicking my drive? Where do I this?

 

[Frostmourne]

In windows explorer, right click your C: drive.

 

[DrNick]

Ok I did that, how do i do the memory test thing?

 

[Frostmourne]

Did you reboot and did your hard drive pass? Download Memtest86+ and burn it to CD - then reboot and let it run for one pass:

Memtest86.com - Memory Diagnostic

Note the disclaimer about 4GB of RAM.

 

[DrNick]

I don't know if I passed, it finished the disk checking, took about 3 hours to do and now I hope it doesn't do that everytime I start up the computer. It's a lap top by the way. I'm downloading now
