| 1110892 | 2010-06-16 22:28:00 | Hello everyone. I just recently helped set-up a new computer for my friend and it works but it'S been having a problem. It seems that the computer is being laggy and has spikes at times. Also, it's not getting full video rendering capabilities when playing games. At first, i thought it was maybe a processor problem (and it might be still, i'm not sure) but i checked the Processors Temperature and Clock and it's operating normally. Here's the specs: Asus P7P55D EVO AMD Phenom II x2 550 4 Gb of RAM 1TB HDD I also tried to check the BIOS for possible settings that might be regulating my computer's clock and such but nothing seems to be wrong. He's been monitering the CPU's performance for the past couple days and it seems consistent. I'm really stumped on this one :S |

| 1110894 | 2010-06-16 23:08:00 | Umm that CPU is an AMD, (AM3)? The mobo is an Intel socket 1156. So how did you get the CPU on the mobo? They're not compatible with each other | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1110895 | 2010-06-16 23:15:00 | I kind of used the wrong term ; it's not so much spikes as it is drops for a quick second. For example, you'll be browsing around on the computer (could be internet, files, etc.) and it will all of the sudden lag/freeze for a quick second. The RAM is compatible and i did check the OS to see if it recognize the RAM i inserted. He's running 64 bit aswell for the added capacity. You think i should have him run a Memtest? And the PSU is an Ultra LSP750 750-Watt Power Supply, so it should be able to support what he's running , and it isn't much. No video cards or added PCI devices. He's just got his Mobo, CPU, HDD, DVD-R. |

They're not compatible with each other Sorry, that's actually the wrong motherboard model, hehe. Would be quite a feat to get an AMD CPU into an Intel Socket. The motherboard model is actually the Asus M4A785TD-V EVO. |

If its the top one, you need 0203 of the BIOS. If the 2nd, 0410. Atm, its up to 2005 |

| 1110899 | 2010-06-16 23:36:00 | It seems that the computer is being laggy . Also, it's not getting full video rendering capabilities when playing games. So what graphics card does it have? And laggy in what? Gaming or generally? Online gaming or not? Done a malware scan? |

| 1110901 | 2010-06-17 02:12:00 | If games are laggy if they are adv games, then maybe the onboard video is not up to it ...... | Nomad (952) | ||
