I've never had any problems while playing Halo on it, it's on the lowest setting level but it runs super smooth which is what I want for online gaming.

Recently however things have been getting jumpy with it, so jumpy that at some times I get a new frame once every 10 seconds or so!

What's even stranger is that it doesn't do this all the time. It will run super smooth, then go super jumpy and almost as suddenly as it started it will go smooth again!

It's only happened recently, so I'm completely bafled as to what's wrong.

It's an Iridium 865 too if you want to know.

This is so stupid now, I had it on the lowest settings and it still went all jumpy plus it was lagging a minute ago while I was selecting a site from my favourites.

I noticed that as soon as the fan dropped down one notch in 'blowability' the jumpyness stopped, but soon started up again.

Could it be due to the thing overheating, because there's nothing running that could be causing these problems as I've disabled everything.

It's a pain in the ass, I can't play Halo any more.

:(

Just been playing one of those Bungie servers on the big bridge, it didn't jump at all really as I've closed 90% of the running processes. Although I've also managed to disable one of the processes that was responsible for all my sound!

It's very quiet.

I'm gonna restart and find what one it is.

I've got my filter set to CTF only. Blood Gulch mainly. BF: Battlesniper, or Big Boys Toys. "Monkeyman".

Best thing to do is kick the hell out of it.

"Fill"

I mainly play CTF games as they're more fun until people start randomly killing me even though I'm on their team.

Plus I just used a system restore to get the driver back as nothing works, although its still really jumpy...

I'll have to disable everything then try.
