Pick one of the games you are having issues with and uninstall and restart and reinstall it.

How much space is left on your Hard drive?

ok ill try that, anything in particular i should look for when i re install? and i currently have 68% free space on my hard drive

Well this is just a test......let us know what the result is.....

It's possibly a virus... Like what megabite said... You should check your processes tab and organize by most resource usage... Snapshot it and post it... You can also give us a snapshot of your resource manager...

What kind of reasons could there be for this lag. When i look at my resource monitor it shows my hard disk usage as off the charts. My computer has a radeon hd 5650 integrated gfx card, an i3 370 m processor and 4 gigs of ram. I hope someone can shed some light on why i have this problem.
Thanks

This bit of information provided jumps out at me.

Cleaning the registry has little to no positive effects on the system. It will only lead to the damage of system entries.

No automated piece of software can possibly detect only the redundant entries without taking out a few useful ones at the same time.

Search this forum for 'Registry Cleaner' or something similar to see what has happened to people who use them.

Sorry to butt in like that

Thanks i will do that. Any ideas on what i should do if the issue is something to do with me having cleaned the registry? To me im not quite sure if thats the problem because i dint clean the registry or anything like that untill after i started to have issues

[jamwaky]

A system restore to a point prior to using the 'cleaner' seems like a logical place to start.

[joely]

ok ill look into that thanks my only issue is previously I had not backed it up for quite a while so im going to try to keep anything that causes me to loose work and programs as a sort of last resort if I can figure out anything else

[joely]

I was told it could be something to do with my clocking speed? does that sound like a possibility?

Im trying to upload a picture of my resource monitor but cant figure it out how do i do it?

Snapshot and upload? the "insert image" button? or you could attach files on the bottom...
also if your looking for a snapshot software hypercam 3 might be able to do it... maybe FRAPS

Clocking speed? I don't think your harddrive would have anything to do with your cpu. Unless your overclocking your HDD... which I've never heard of.

So thats what going on during a game. i dunno if anyone can make any sense of this
