I have a ASUS P4S333 Motherboard, P4 1.8GHZ, ATI Radeon 7500 All in Wonder 3d card, 256 DDR SDRAM DIMM PC2100, and a wireless network card. When I play a game(online or offline) for more then 20-30min, I get a huge lag, my comp practically freezes, and I have to close the comp the hard way, with the power button. Anyone have any advice? I have latest drivers for my stuff... And thats about it, any help would be REALLY appreciated. Oh yeah and lately I had a virus IRC.Mimic, I cleaned it completely and I dont think the problem has to do with that. Ok well tnx for any help anyone could gimme.

Could be that your video card is overheating. First check if it has a fan on it, and if so, check that it is still spinning, and not prevented from doing so by a stray cable.

The 3d card has a heatsink and a fan on it, the cpu isnt overheating either. Plus I just noticed that even when I am on windows somtimes it starts lagging badly... Plz help guys tnx

It could be the network card if the VGA card seems OK. Especially if you start getting lag, and then almost a standstill. I would suggest removing the wireless network card from the PC and then try to play the game offline, and see how it goes. This should at least narrow down your problem.

could be to much strain on your motherboards power supply try plugging any case fans into ide leads as the power supply is split into 2 channels 1 ide 1 motherboard this will put less strain on your motherboard

Hey that is a very intresting hypotysis, I really appreciate it, I will try that but could u gimme a little more specifications? And if anyone has another idea plz lemme know :)

ok search all of the pages before this one on the forums, also go into system properties and change the way some of the windows and taskbar look like worked for me!
