So if I'm running the game on google chrome it will show up as chrome.exe?

I know this might be a bit of a bind, but try moving YOUR computer into the place where HIS computer is supposed to be, if you see improvements then you have got something that is causing problems...

I used to play on my computer and have a light on, but it was a very high power usage and affected my connection (wireless) COMPLETELY, I couldn't get on anything not even Google, so we don't use it anymore.

I also got my dad to switch out all the phones in the house so we use wired phones only and my download speed increased by around 80kb/s...

Microwaves and televisions are also another problem, if you use a wireless remote on your tele it (highly doubt it..) could cause some issues and the microwave will too..

They are physical problems that could come into attack, now for the software side of things:

If you want to clean your computer out very easily, then use 'CCleaner' ONLY. Unless you have paid for a PCTuneup from one of these anti-virus companies, i'd recommend CCleaner as it is fast and effective as 1 button cleans your computer instead of having to configure anything over and over...

Check if you're downloading, try to keep your programs / processes closed unless they are completely neccessary (eg: Antivirus, skype and maybe steam) even though you may think you need some programs open constantly, be strict with what you have running in the background as you will always experience internet speed differences (especially if you keep steam running.. lol).

Hardware:

You're not going to break anything if you pop the hood, so do it. But first, shut down your computer (open this thread on your iphone / PS3 / get a laptop going or something to read this), unplug ALL cables going into the tower, move the tower onto a desk so it's not on carpet / fabric and then press and hold the power button for atleast 10seconds, you should see it turn on and then off and keep the power button held down until you can't hear that little screeching noice coming from the Harddrive / elsewhere in your computer.

Once you've done this, open it up. If you can see areas around the motherboard / GPU / CPU area that are BLACK, then get a little bit of cloth in one hand, put your other hand on the metal part of the case so you're grounded to the case and then see if you can wipe it off, if it doesn't come off then you've got an electrical problem with your computer and you need to go and get it checked fully at the place of purchase (eg: PCWorld / Walmart) because you've got something burned out. Also check all the wiring, I know it's confusing but you simple gotta push (firm, but not rough) each cable in with no excessive force to see if any are slightly loose (also a long shot, but worth testing), finally check your WIRELESS card for blackspots / meltspots or if you have an external wireless adapter then remove it, and install another one to see if that solves the problem

I've gone through quite a lot there, I hope I have helped you out mate.

yes thats correct but i dont know if it works the same if its chrome, i guess it would but thats boosting the whole of chrome, giving it higher priority over other running processes, it should make some difference i dont see why not.. gl

This is useful, but I have no where else to move my computer. I just want to know why when I play a game it runs slow and lag spikes.



iiight and those other programs you recommended are you sure they work?

If you made/have restore disks, do a factory restore, it'll be how it was when you first bought it... I do it to mine every year, just back up the things you want to keep.

If you don't want to do this then give CCleaner a try.. Run the Cleaner and Registry cleaner it might help.

They really do the work you can do manually such as ending un needed background processes, they do it for you, it probably does more but as far as i know thats all ive seen, i dont really use it anymore but i do have it

How much porn do you watch daily?LOL

Ok so me and my brother have the same computer and his works faster then mine. The modem is downstairs and me and him are both upstairs. Hes still probably a little closer to the modem, but not by that much. Anyways, my computer doesn't seem to work no matter what I do. I uninstalled pretty much every program I have (skype,teamviewer,etc). I was wondering if any of you guys could help me. I recently upgrading my ram and it doesn't seem to make that much of a difference. I just really want to play this game without any lag or lag spikes. And watch youtube videos without lagging either. Also, I have even have a bit more ram then he does. We both have a zyxel wireless thing you plug in your computer for the connection. My connection is 4 bars. And we both have the same speedtest results (Mine are actually a bit better)




Here is my computer info.

Here is the list of all my programs (Someone on here recently told me to install DiskMak, but it seemed to make it worst after I ran a scan) Is there any programs I can uninstall or is there programs I need?

How are you connected to the internet ? and how is your brother connected if both wireless and your brother is closer to the router then this could explain the difference. What do you both use to connect to the internet if your both wireless do you both have the same wireless card or adapter.
