For the past couple of weeks now, all of the PC games I play (CoD4, Medieval 2 Total War, Empire Total War, Dawn of War 2, Red Orchestra) have this ever so slight but oh-so-annoying lag where the framerate freezes for a split second, every second. I can follow it with the clock on my wall and it's driving me insane. my PC hardware specs are as follows: AMD X2 6000+ 3.0GHz Nvidia Geforce 9800GTX @ 810c/1200m w/latest drivers (185.85) 4GB OCZ SLI-Ready DDR2 RAM Corsair 650w PSU on some occasions, such as medieval 2 and empire total war, I get a windows error icon saying that the virtual memory minimum is too low. I did a little research and took the recommended steps to prevent that issue from happening (adjust page file memory, cleaning/defragging HDD), but this does not alleviate my problem. can someone tell me what's going on with my computer, and maybe how to fix this? it's almost getting to the point where I cant play games because of the sheer annoyance. any help would be appreciated, thanks
Check your system resources. Do a ctrl-alt-delete and see what programs are running. It sounds like you don't have enough memory. But if you got time, please read the possible solution here.
I have checked for backround processes and there are none to be found... and the steam forums link ToraPilot gave me was of no use... will I really have to resort to formatting my hard drive?
