Mr.Thunderbird Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Hello WinCert folks! :happy: I have a problem.Well, when I play a game, (let's say counter-strike:Condition Zero this time)(BTW; I'm running a CS server meanwhile) my comp sometimes goes into "Slo-mo" mode, it begins to lag EXTREMELY, this is also happening in other games, also sometimes on my HP Pavillion 9000, (which is much better than my Acer,) but, it's not that bad on the HP one...Before, when I bought my Acer laptop (September last year) my laptop was working fine, I made a server with over 20 Ai Bots, and I played meanwhile on it with 4 of my friends, WITHOUT lagg.I can't really remember WHEN this all started, but it's long time ago.What could possibly cause this ?Even after killing a lot of proccesses and unused programs, AND lifting my comp on some "Holders" I have (for better cooling), this still happens..I hope you can help me.Thanks in advance!

NIM Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 This could be a power supply issue :confused02: Quote
Mr.Thunderbird Posted November 10, 2007 Author Posted November 10, 2007 Hmm, thanks for your reply's guys But how can I check if it's a power supply issue ? Quote
cygnus Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 As long as the battery is charging, and is taking a charge, I'd have to say it's fine. Quote
Mr.Thunderbird Posted November 10, 2007 Author Posted November 10, 2007 Well the battery is fine, and charging without problems Quote
Mr.Thunderbird Posted November 11, 2007 Author Posted November 11, 2007 Alright guys, I don't know what's going on here Now it also goes into "Slomo-mode" when I'm browsing the web/watching videos Quote
NIM Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 Alright guys, I don't know what's going on here Now it also goes into "Slomo-mode" when I'm browsing the web/watching videos Hmmm, could it be a graphic card? Can you consult with the service center about this problem? Quote
Mr.Thunderbird Posted November 11, 2007 Author Posted November 11, 2007 Hm, I stil have warrenty (spelling) and guarantee on it, so should be no problem.So you are saying that I just need to drop it off a repair shop ? Quote

Mr.Thunderbird Posted November 13, 2007 Author Posted November 13, 2007 Alright, but before I do that, I want to try running the recovery discs if I can find them...There may be some "Driver" Modification on it Quote
