FPS Help Please

virusattack · 03-26-2007, 08:00 AM

I am so bummed. I don't know where to post this, computer games, or adware.

To make things short: I play many FPS games, and Id get good FPS, around 100-120 on all maps, but every 2 minutes or so, i get a FPS lag spike and drop down to about 5 FPS. this stays for about 10 seconds, and then goes back up to normal.

I have updated all my video drivers, I have used Mcaffee to check for virus/malware and spybot search and destroy along with ad-aware SE and scanned and cleaned my computer. I have also turned off auto-on-access scan and updates because they might be lagging it down.

i have looked everywhere on the interent, and posted in about 12 forums along wtih sending a ticket to AMD ATI.

I have also realized that this isnt only for MOH:SH but for ALL my games. including but not limited to Counterstrike, Battlefield, SWAT. I'm also getting lag on youtube videos and my internet exploerer is becoming slow.

i dont know if this is spyware/adware, but I would really like to fix. Even if it is, anyone have any other good programs to kill this peice of nuts thing thats crappity smacking up my computer?

pardon my langauge, but it really makes me mad.

thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome to the forum, It sounds like there is something running in the background, go to run>>>msconfig and see what proceses are running in the background that you can turn off. You should also run Spybot and Adaware to make sure you have no such bugs infecting your system

Hey Matt and twajetmech,

Thanks for the quick reply.
I have tried to follow the steps, but for some odd reason, When I am on the online panda virus scanner, before it finished, IE quits.

What can I do to solve this?

I would ask in the security forum here: http://www.techsupportforum.com/secu...uter-security/
