Computer lags when playing games.

Hi folks.
I have a problem with my computer, several in fact.
1. Computer lags when playing games(Battlefield/Desert Combat) even on lowest video settings, especially when there is a lot of action.
2. When I open "My Computer" it searches for 3-5 minutes before files appear, but when opening "my documents" for example, it opens it without any delay.
3. Startup is fast but when logging on, computer hangs for a couple of minutes, before completing log on.
Is there anyone who can help me out???
plz help

Hi NovJoe, thanks for the reply. Nice rig by the way.
Ive disabled all programs except essential windows programs in Task Manager, it didnt help.
Ive changed to new drivers, uninstalled them, changed to older drivers, tried 7 different drivers.
VGA card is running cold, CPU is on 40 cel. under full load, RAM is cool as well. PSU isnt running hot either.
Even checked the chipset, and thats cool also. I switched cabinets and that helped a bit(different PSU).
Now I only have problems with the lagging when playing.
So now Ive ordered a new PSU and mobo (MSI 865PE NEO2-V) I have a feeling its the VGA slot thats not giving me enough power to the VGA card.
And the new PSU is just so cool I had to have it. When Ive complete the build Ill post pics on the forum.
Anyways, Ill let you guys know if this will solve my problem.

Sound lag when playing games

Hi,
My Z1 compact has sound issues when playing games.
There is a noticable sound lag of about a second (not much but is quite annoying), not only on newer games but also on the older ones, Angry Birds for example. My recorded videos or YouTube don't appear to have the same issue.
The problem seemed to occur after I had installed Worms 2: Armageddon when the phone got extremely hot and crashed. It was after the phone had reset and cooled down that I noticed the sound lag issue and Worms 2 was running at a very slow frame rate.
I then installed Worms 2 on my ASUS TF201 and it runs perfectly with no sound or heating issues.
I can't seem to find anyone else with this issue so i'm wondering if my phone is faulty.
Any help would be much appreciated.

My pc was working fine. i was even able to play games properly. last week i had tried a NVidia Geforce MX 440 AGP card. but then I was not able to play games on it because it said the OpenGL drivers were not updated. so i removed the AGP card. but now i am not able to play games on my pc. the games starts properly without any error but the pc hangs just after playing for 3 or 4 minutes. i treid formating my pc and then reinstalling everything from the begining but its not working. can anyone pls help. BTW the games that i am trying to play are May Payne, Call Of Duty, Quake 3, Hitman 2. the problem omes with all the games. I feel that the problem has started right after i tried the AGP card.

You shold be able to see a label at the side of your PSU and list out what you see from there.
You should try updating your DirectX version and update your nVidia Drivers. Remember to do a clean un-installation before updating to the latest nVidia drivers.
Dear NovJoe,
Ok I'll get the PSU amps but i thiink there is misunderstanding, now i am not using Nvidia graphic card. i am trying to run on the on-board graphoc chipset, its S3 Graphics Prosavage DDR, i am having a MSI mobo. i have formated my C drive and reinstalled win98 and installed all the drivers from the mother board CD but I dont understand why is it hanging while i am playing games and not at other times.

When playing games on Facebook, why do I keep getting requests to store information on my computer?

When playing games on Facebook, why do I keep getting requests to store information on my computer?When playing games on Facebook, why do I keep getting requests to store information on my computer?

Welcome to the forum.
Exactly what program is throwing that request message?
Does that message list any details, such as WHAT will be written/saved to your computer?
As ATR mentions, I am not sure how PrE figures into the mix. I would anticipate that your message is coming from FaceBook, or from the OS, or from your anti-virus/anti-malware program.
Regardless, be VERY wary of any program, or Web site, that wants to write to your computer, unless you have delibertly invoked something that you DO want to do so.
Good luck,

When playing games on the ipad I have no sound and it it very slow.

when playing games downloaded from the app store I have no sound and the games arte very slow?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

When playing games on an iphone 3gs is it common for it to go warm on the back?

Yes.
A computer will get warm when the processor is working hard and the same with the iPhone's processor.

GT780DX how hot should it run when playing games?

my exact model is:
MSI GT780DXR-429NE - i7-2670QM 2.2GHz/ 8GB / 1.5TB / GTX 570M / 17.3" / BT / Blu-Ray / Win 7 HP
..so my question, how hot should the computer run while playing games?
when I play arkham city it tops at about 72C (161F) holds around 70C
and when I play minecraft on it it gets to 72C (161F) as well
the fan can get really loud, feels like it only has two gears, slow and super fast.
is this normal?

I use one of these... http://www.awd-it.co.uk/cooler-master-notepal-u3-cooling-pad-for-notebooks-black.html
My laptop used to shutdown due to over heating - you could fry an egg on the bottom of it.
Since I got the cooling pad, my laptop is almost icy cold. Really.
For the price, they are very cheap. When I opened the box I was a little disappointed because I thought it was made of thin cheap metal, but it does stand up to the use.
haha cool, exactly one of those that I bought today also
I think it's working pretty nice, though where is the most optimal place to place your fans ?
the vents on the back or the actual place that gets warm? (which have no vents)

Ideapad Y510P overheating when playing games...help

Idk anything about your model of laptop, but i have the z580 that gets really warm too. 78 - 82*C when playing games like Starcraft 2. I have a desktop computer fan that runs of USB. + a 18$ cooling pad. But they both only keep the laptop 1 - 3 *c diffrence. So.. Idk what to do there ither. unless I just take off the bottom of the **bleep** thing and set it on a window box fan... loool or spend 100$ on a better cooling pad.. Idk. but even the more expesnsive ones have reviews saying only 1-5*c in diffrence. And i cant find anyone that knows how to reccommend a good cooling pad. Everyone I tlak to just says it means its a **bleep**y laptop and to upgrade. But thats not useful...

My Y500 got a little hot, so I bought a Logisys Computer Dual 140mm Fan Aluminum Laptop Cooling Pad Model NP8. Best $20 I've spent... It comes on when I turn the computer on, and it stays cool, which in turn will make the laptop last longer.Heat is bad for the electronics, and the number one cause, besides the hard drive, for laptop failures. I agree with the reviews, in that the aluminum corners are very sharp, but it's easily remedied with some fine sandpaper. It's quiet, and totally effective! Thermaltake's fancy lighted big single fan is a joke; the fan died a few days after the 90 day warranty. I recommend the dual, or tripple fan setups, in fact I was deciding between the Logisys, and another aluminum cooling fan setup, where you could place the fans where they would do the most good, right by the vent openings on the bottom of the laptop.

Laptop overheating and laging when playing games

Product: HP Elitebook 8540w Mobile WorkstationOS: Windows 8.1 (64 bit)DXDiag Hello! I am having a wierd problem on my laptop. When i am playing games, watching youtube or doing autocad my laptop is overheating. It does not turn off but its really really hot, sometimes i cant place my hand on. Laptop was like this when i buyed it, maybe its a little more now but thats normal. Also i noticed With AC and battery: Lagging when playing gamesWith AC and witout battery : Just a little lagWithout AC and with battery: Best performance Battery is on high performance and I do know that my laptop is not designed for gaming. But i can run some casual games like Dota or something like thatBut this is just wierd. I been on other forums and they told me to check my charger. Someone told me to check it. Maybe its using too much or dont provides enogh power for all parts. I noticed on my charger (which already got hot, i just turned on laptop and came here) Input 100-240v ~1.7A 50-60hz
Output 18.5v 3.5A 65w And on my laptop back it says Input 19Vdc 4.74A 3.5A into 4.74? Is that okay? Do i need a new charger? And if so which one should i buy? How much does it cost? Or is this because of something else?

I'll make a long story short. Your system is not built for Gaming as since it most likely doesn't have the hardware setup to allow for proper cooling of the system itself when pushed hard. It will handle game play but since it can't dissipate the thermal heat your system will itself take on the heat since it has no where to go.

Is it okay my Macbook Pro 13" (late 2011) is on 80° to about 92 when playing games and stuff like that?

"Is it okay my Macbook Pro 13" (late 2011) is on 80° to about 92 when playing games and stuff like that?"

Well, I just thought when I bought a computer to 1200$, i would be able to run atleast games which do not requirer that much GPU power. I only play games like Counter strike: Global Offensive, Counter strike: Source and league of legends.

Powermac crashes when playing games

Hi. I've got a problem with my Powermac G4 (Dual 450MHz).
Everytime I play a game (Quake 3 or Redline for example) the mac crashes sooner or later and I need to reboot. I've checked RAM, fixed HD permissions, fixed the HDs and cleared all cache. The mac has a stock ATI Rage128 Pro and 640 MB RAM. My mac crashes only when playing games, never when in "normal use".

Hi
It may be worth just checking the ventilation holes in the case aren't clogged with dust etc and the case fan is still spinning okay. If games are the only time you 'stress' the processors (e.g. you don't also use it for DVD encoding etc), perhaps it's a heat issue. You could try temporarily using it with the case open to see whether it makes any difference, which would also allow you to check the fan(s). It seems unlikely but it may be worth a shot.

Humming noise when playing games

Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me solve a buzzing noise I'm getting when playing games.
I have a x-fi fatalty, gtx 480 in SLI and a x58a-ud3r motherboard and for the most part the x-fi works fine, however when I play 3d games I get a very irritating buzzing sound coming from the speakers while playing.
Things I've tried...
Switching off SLI / only having one graphics card installed - no difference
Wrapping the x-fi in electrical tape to stop interference - no difference
Switching the pcie slot - no difference
Latest BIOS - no difference
Trying x-fi different drivers - no difference
Using on board audio - no buzzing at all
Switching off 3d audio and crystallizer- reduces buzzing significantly but?still?there!
I'm out of ideas now... anyone else had this problem?
T_L_T

Well, I got Windows 7, I cleaned the inside which was quite dusty. I launched Left 4 Dead, had a minute of calm, then the sound of my fan started to increase slowly to the point when it sounds a bit like when you turn a Mac Pro on. It seems slightly better though. Probably by doing a full cleaning of the inside I could make it a bit less noisy.
