    Hello everyone

    I hope someone can help me with this problem i got. Over the last few weeks my computer have started to come up with lag or some kind of delay no matter where i am; desktop, in game, application etc. And it is very annoying!! :O

    an example; when i browse the web as normally, and i listen to music while doing it in my headset or just on the computers speakers. Then sometimes the music start to say "rrrrrrrrr" if you know what i mean. The screen doesn't freeze, i can still move the mouse, but very slowly. It is like the computer slows down for 2-3 sec and everything moves at 10% instead of 100%.

    I'm not sure if it is something with the graphics card i have, or it is a software problem. But my anti-virus have had some problems lately. It doesn't react and i can't scan the computer without the program freeze and i have to close it again on the hard way. can it be anything with a virus maybe?

    Have anyone experience this problem at all? Because i have closly tried everything i can to fix it. And it is very annoying when you browse the web, and is playing with friends.

    i had this issue (or something similar) on my desktop a few years ago...a reinstall of the graphic drivers solved it for me back then.

    You should also be willing to reinstall windows as i've heard that some people resolved it that way
