Hi to everybody (new user here ) i have had a browse on forums but cannot find anything specific to my problem (although could have missed it) When i play battlefield BAD company 2 and cod 4 modern warfare and a few others, my games start OK but then get increasingly laggy till i can hardly move , my fps and ping are ok and i've had an engineer from virgin check my router, connection etc so don't think its isp side of things, any help would be appreciated as i don't want to buy new pc only to find that it might be an EASY fix.


Win7
i5 3.2 oc to 3.6 (from overclockers)
nvidea gtx 560
8gb ram

600w psuSounds like either HEAT Related or a Resource Leak that eventually locks it up... more common to be heat related, especially when overclocking...

What are your operating temps?

I use speedfan to look at temps, it has a graphing ability to graph temps and then game and then windows key back to windows desktop, and look at the temps when the game acts up. It will show CPU, GPU, HDD, and some other temp info.hi thanks for reply, i d/l speedfan played battlefield and gpu temp went up to 55c with a little flame by it , does this MEAN to hot??? do i need extra cooling do you think?Max GPU temp is rated at 99C as per: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-560ti/specifications

Speedfan shows that flame for temps that the SOFTWARE believes are too hot, but as long as its within the operating limits it should be ok. I am assuming that all other temps were good in the green with the GPU being the only hot temp reported?
