I doubt its the video card that's making you lag, if u break something from overclocking it pretty much doesn't work at all anymore

seems like u might have a virus problem; i would look into any extra processes you might have running

mmmm i use Nod32 and Avira... my pc is clean, any more ideas ?

How many games have you tested with the same problem?

 

[enigma575]

2 games..... Worms Mayhem , and Call of duty 4, and i notice LAGGSS in my computer's performance

I'd wonder if your Hard Drive is dying being that you said this problem came out of nowhere.

Otherwise I'd say you downloaded something you shouldn't have and it's messing with your install of windows. Re-Install windows, check to be sure your hard drive is not the issue and if neither option works, please give us your system specs and operating system in order to help you further.

it's not out of no where.....it happened when i overclocked ...just a few days later

You're the only one intent on blaming the overclocking.

We're telling you that should not have done anything.

 

[enigma575]

i know i found out 2 late .....any possible fixes ?

 

[enigma575]

and what this has to do with Lagging in general @ my pc.... i freeze sometimes

 

[Beanie46]

Still think you've got some remnants of a virus or worm or something.....it's NOT from overclocking your video card. If it were, you'd have huge amounts of artifacts on your screen, not system freezing and lagging. That's due to something in your Windows install....think virus or malware.

You caught 100 viruses with nod32 installed? Something is not adding up.

Is that 2 virus programs running at once?....if so, that is a no no!

 

[enigma575]

nah i removed one of them i think i will keep Nod32

 

[enigma575]

maybe it's a virus problem. i will try re install windows :S

 

[SolMiester]

try malwarebyte for spyware etc....

maybe system files are broken
