Hello, I have a very specific problem that I've tried to fix before in the past.
My computer can run games fine for about 5 minutes, but that's about it. Then
it will experience extreme lag, to the point where my FPS drops to 1-5. Usually I would think my video card is bad, but I don't believe so because it has played games fine in the past.
I used to play WoW. Guild Wars, and other games fairly frequently with absolutely no problems, and everything was running smoothly on high settings. However, just recently my computer has been having this lag problem on games that I should be able to run without a problem, such as Minecraft or League of Legends (not to mention other high setting games). This is extremely frustrating because I think my computer has the capacity and should be running these without a problem.
I'm not really great with computers, although I do know some stuff. I've tried malware and virus checks, no luck. I've looked into many threads of users experiencing similar issues, did what they did to fix their problems. No luck. I even tried making calls to HP, but of course, still no luck.
Here are some computer specs. I don't know if I'm leaving anything crucial out, If I am let me know.
I have an HP Pavillion p6210f
AMD Athlon II X4 620 processor 2.60 GHz
6gb RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9100
Running Windows 7 64bit
This problem is beyond frustrating to me, I'm almost to the point of buying a new CPU. This is somewhat of a last-ditch effort, but hopefully it works out.
It would be great if someone could help someone not so tech-savvy out with my problem, I've came to Tom's Hardware many times as a guest, and you guys seem very helpful.
Thank you,
- Nic
