After playing a game for an hour or 2 I get lag "pulses" which are short but frequent bouts or lag, and i was just wondering if anyone knew what the problem was? could it be my card dying or my processor?
My specs are as follows:
2.8 GH AMD athlon x2 5200+
ATI Radeon 1650X
2 gigs of ram
I currently only have one case fan and I have always suspected my processor overheating.
I know my computer isn't up to date to play source games any more but I usually run everything on low and on tf2 I force the DXlevel to be 80.
(This happens on tf2, CSS, killing floor and even MMO's like warhammer online)
Sounds like overheating, download HWMonitor and post under load temps here.
MOBO 48C (118F)
CPU 56C (133F)
AUX 52C (126F)

That's probably the HDD.
I had this problem a long time ago. Turns out it was an svchost process. I just stopped it and all was fine.
Though I never really figured out why it did that.
