Curse

I'm experiencing some problems when playing games, not only GuildWars but CSS too. What happens is that when I'm playing my screen suddenly freezes for about 10/15 seconds and then just goes on as if nothing happened. I really have no idea what it could be, but it hasn't been like this always. I'd appreciate any help, cause it's getting real odd.

Thanks in advance,

Xelz

PS. Just noticed it's not only in games, just had the same thing when browsing this site.

It could be something running in the background that's chewing up resources, causing the momentary freezes. Open your task manager and take a look at the processes that are running and make note of CPU usage. With no programs open most should be dedicated to System Idle Process (98-99%). Scan your computer and cleanse it of any of that bad stuff that makes computers perform terribly.

Ad-Aware SE, Spybot Search & Destroy, a reputable virus scanner, CCleaner, and HiJack This are just some of many tools you can use to check your computer. If these programs don't help, then it's time to explore hardware trouble.
