Computer help
« on: September 09, 2006, 07:03:45 am »
I recently upgraded my computer with more ram and a new video card. I got battlefield 2 and guild wars and they work fine when they start but after about 30mins they start to get all laggy. I think it is my fan because theback of my computer gets quite warm. its not my internet because I dont play battlefield online (stupid firewall >:() Any help?

Try taking the side off your case. When I play BF2 my computer tends to heat up pretty quick and the fans are really loud. See what happens.

wasnt there something about having dirty heatpads making your computer heat up quick?

there was an article i read were you cut the metal  that is in front of the fan,  it makes the fan 20% more effective.

but dont do it if you have pets or something, aparently it was made as a "saftey feature"

An overheated computer can be dangerous if left unchecked. Download a free temperature monitor. Here's one:

Might consider doing another program too just to verify. Run it rest, normal use, then play the game. It should help you pinpoint the problem.

You can't play online because of a firewall?

Open the case and put an extra fan. Or put your computer in your fridge.

Check if your fan isnt fried. Try taking PC to the service and let them monitor the fan speed. Well check your fan settings in BIOS, if your BIOS have them of course.

Fix and disable this "C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE" It's a harmful trojan.

I would get a new fan if I were you, and removing the case side until you install it.
