I have no idea what causes this, but here goes.
I could be running anything very small, just AIM and a
browser, that's cool. If I start something else, like a
3d game or something, it will work well for a min or so,
then be laggy, then work well for a min or so, then be
laggy for a min or so, on and on. This works the same
when there is only the game running. It is not the
graphics card, because it will happen sometimes on things
like flash or java applets, and I know my graphics card
can handle that. I have set system configuration, and
basically the minimal will run. So it will have like RAM
at like 30-50% frequently, but processor will nearly
always be at 100%. I've defragged my hard drive. And I
have run virus scan with no detection. Someone did
mention something about the registry, but I don't know
how that works. Is that my problem?
Specs are:
384mb RAM
2.0ghz intel celeron CPU
XP home OS
Graphics card is Intel 82845G/GL Chip, 64mb memory
I'm not a computer wiz, if some other specs are needed, I
can add.
I have talked to other gamers and have not had luck
finding a person who know's what to do about it.
