Well dont know whats the problem with my PC but it seems that certain programs take a bit more time than they used to do previously ,I tend to play this certain game called Fifa 08 which used to run smoothly but nowadays it takes a while to start and it even hangs for atleast 3 secs or so before running smoothly and then it hangs again for a while ,anyways this annoying problem is with this game only, have reinstalled it twice but to no avail
PS:Counter Strike CZ works smoothly without any errors or problems ,thought about posting this in the gaming forum but then i feel its something to do with my PC
HELP!!!

Hey Raptor,

Could you post your specs please? Many times speed of a computer depends on the configurations. CPU, amount of RAM, are your hard drives set to RAID (many hardcore gamers are), and how old is the machine. Also, how much hard drive space do you have left? Try to play the game by disconnecting from the internet, shut down your firewall and antivirus, and any other non-essential icons in your system tray. They will reload on next boot anyway. See if the game runs a little better.

Specifications:
System Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
System Model: GA-VM900M
BIOS: Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG
Processor: IntelŪ PentiumŪ Dual CPU E2140 @ 1.60GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: 960MB RAM

Hard-disk Capacity:160 GB
C:20 GB free space
D:12 GB free
E:10 GB

The game was working without any issues and it still does now (Game runs as smoothly as it used to) but only where you select the players and everything related to Stats of the game ,thats the part which hangs a bit,did shutdown the anti-virus and even had removed some of the icons from the sys tray previously but have the same problem, Thanks!!

You have a nice setup there, should run pretty much everything with no problems, even Crysus (spelling?) on high (maybe no ultra high) settings. I don't have a clue-with that setup you shouldn't be having any problems. Do you notice your hard drive light on steady when this happens? Or not? It almost sounds like a bug in the game. Try Googling the game name and see if others are having problems. One thing that I will just mention-you are nearing the max of your hard drive-you only have 20 gigs left. You are fine right now, but keep an eye on it. Don't let it get under 10 gigs. Windows needs lots of room, including your swap file, etc.
Raptorz
Thanks! I'll give it a shot and see if its a bug smile.gif

Well I checked on the fifa 08 gaming forums to see if its a bug ,well they think thats got to do with my PC (infection or background processes) ,so I thought of posting my HJT log ,want to know if there are some unknown processes on my PC ,172.16.100.1 is my server address smile.gif ,Thanks
