Mobo Problem?: Lag

wixostrix · 11-06-2006, 10:52 AM

It seems like my computer lags a lot on things that it shouldn't. Some games do and take longer then they used to to load. Also, sometimes when I play videos and do something else at the same time, th video laggs. Does anyone think this is the motherboard? I had a problem similar to this before with an Asus board and I sent it RMA and it seemed to be the problem. So thats why im thinking the mobo.

How long as it been since you've done a reinstall of windows and how big is your hard drive. How much space is being taken up?

check for spyware and how many processes are running

I agree with meanman... That sounds more like somethings running in the background(or too much is). RAM doesn't gradually degrade or slow down. It basically works or starts giving errors.
