need help with this lagging problem...

scenario 1: when i playing songs with windows media player, i open any program, there will be a lag, then the song will follow the lag also, dragging the song and slowing down the tempo of the song played

scenario 2: the rate my laptop download programs from installers is slower than my desktop and during the process of downloading, it will be very laggy

scenario 3: sometimes when i open a new window or program, there will be this constant lag that will follows on. on off on off... lag->2sec->lag again->2sec -> another lag... until after 3-4 mins then will be gone...

scenario4: the worst of all... while playing online games, suddenly will lag, lag until the whole screen will freeze at tat frame for ard 4-5mins then resume back...

when these lags come i go to task manager, under performance CPU usage = 100%... why? anyone can help me with these problems? thx

How old is your Laptop?

How much Free HDD storage Space do you have now?

Specs of your laptop?

Your laptop more or less tio trojan or spyware le.
100% CPU usage is a good sign. Wink

Frankly, i have never seen or come to know that even a superCPU can work at it's optimum when the HDD free space is only 3Gb

I wonder if i interprete wrongly, can clarify on the free HDD space? Be specific.

1yr....what programs do you use?
Gamer?
Hardcore music video downloader?

Acer TM shouldn't be that bad....cos i'm a TM user as well...
The only symptom that appears like you've described is when it's infected. I'll reformat.

100% CPU usage is good sign? For me lag until like turtle crawling.

Ito_^ SG

no. not a good sign.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Your HDD size very small. Considering gaming and music, it will obviously lag.

For gaming, what kinds of games you play? Hardcore gamers usually have at least 1GB of RAM installed. How about the graphics card?

ATI mobolity radeon x700 128mb
60 gb HDD
512mb ddr2 533

maplestory doesn't require a lot of ram does it? but it still lags... suddenly play half way, the whole thing will juz lag, 4 mins later then recover, after recover will have a constant lag, 2-3 secs one lag... then 1 min later no more lag... if continue play, the same sudden lag will come again

Nb.

You play need for speed most wanted, GTA san andreas with your laptop....
Not scared that your lappy fried....nevermind. That day will come. Muahahaha!

Those games you played requires RAM and Good FXcard and CPU.
Your RAM not enough.
Your FXcard not good enough(but this one quite standard in laptops, so nothing you can do)
CPU processer not enough to play comfortablely.

My point being, i think those games took up alot of HDD space (You still haen't specify your HDD used space and free space...)

During your online gaming OR surfing undesirable webbie. TIO bug lo...
If suddenly lag, is bug at work le...

Cheers
