Huge lag for no reason.

amross · 08-20-2009, 06:30 PM

Hi, I've been playing games for the past 3 years with no problems. But then a week ago, just randomly I got this huge lag with 100 ping and its still here. I've tried EVERYTHING from, restarting modem to changing vid cards. But nothing seems to work. My internet connection is fine but is slow sometimes. I have comcast wireless. Anything else you need to know let me know. Thanks.

Hi and welcome to TSF!
Can you post your system specs (motherboard, RAM, video card, PSU)? Also, have you tried connecting directly to the router or modem? Try going to www.speedtest.net and run a test of your Internet speed.

What games specifically are you having problems with?
Also, what is your power supply unit? You can check by opening up your computer case (make sure the computer is turned off while you do so.)
