Hey all
ok recently i've been having problems while playing games.
Heres what goes on
-Loads Up
-Plays For About 2-3mins after loading up
-Lags for about 12seconds
-Players for another 3-6seconds
-Lags for another 12seconds
and after the lag starts, the order just repeats itself.. its annoying, im not sure whats wrong, when i play baclk and white 2, it just lags, but when i play WoW, the graphics break up and there are like brown/green (depending on where i am in the game) triangles all over the place, so i think its a graphics problem, but im not sure.
WTB help please, ty in advance
btw i have crappy card > nvidia 5200 somethingsomething

Nvidia fx 5200 i presume.
This card is one of the worst I have ever seen....
Your graphics card is overing heating and that is causing artifacts.

If overheating is the case, you can put a fan over it...
But your best option is to upgrade to a different GPU...
If it's true you have 5200, it is very old, switch to something newer...

i would upgrade, but i'm building a whole new comp, so for now it would just be waste because the new comp is coming in in a few weeks
