If you're playing a game online on someone elses server, it could be they can't handle the traffic and band width is not good.

| Usually caused by one of a couple of things. 1) make sure you've got the latest and greatest driver. Don't just install the new one, de-install the old driver, reboot, then install the updated driver. 2) Processor interrupt, could be malware or another program stealing CPU cycles. Run the Task Manager to see if something is using more CPU that it should. 3) In the Video Properties, Advanced Tab, Troubleshooting, try changing the Acceleration.

| I would also add that you run a derfag (with something other than the default Windows - such as Diskeeper) and Disk Cleanup. If you are running out of Disk Space, it could cause video problems. |

| If you try all of the above it may be your graphics card fixing to bite the dust. Your heat sink could have gone bad and killed your graphics card from what Dell told me on my lappy when it started doing that. |
