What is the problem?

NCIS330 · 03-20-2008, 12:27 AM

I have a Dell 4550 desktop with 1GB of ram. Anyways, lately videos and images have been loading slow. I can load the video but every 15 seconds he has to buffer. I defraged the computer last week and didn't see any help. Also I play Counter Strike Source and my ping has been really high also.

Is this a internet connection problem?

or

Is this a internal computer problem?

Also I just ordered a new video card and new monitor if that has anything to do with it. Thanks for the help.

I would say head over hear and post up a HJThis log and they will tell you your problem.

hmm, wont be the internet then, that is more than fast enough to keep up with playing videos

Well I play Counter Strike Source and my PING is just off the charts.

Your ping is insanely high, you're right. Try switching your DNS servers to somewhere like Level3.

DNS server? I don't know a whole lot about computers so you may need to explain that.

Yeah i would say your download speeds and uploads are crazy low. I have charter too and check out my speeds. Your ping is really high and should be changed. Do you have a router?
