Hello all,first of all thank you for your time and help

Im so sorry if this topic doest belong here.Im facing quite a frustrating problem. This prolem sometimes come and gone but i cant take it anymore ... When i play games, i would have this lag that repeats every 30secs-1min. No matter what games (old and new) and what settings i play (low or high) this thing still happens. i tried to google and still nothing ever solves this problem. This is what i have already tried

1. cleaning my cpu and gpu
2. fresh install win 7 32 bit
3. latest 10.8 ATI CCC
4. updating my chipset
5. updating my bios
6. defraging my disc
7. adding fan to the case

This is my system

Intel pentium D 2.8GHz
2x 1GB Kingston ddr2 ram
Simbadda Aluminium power 530watts
Powercolor HD 4670 512mb ddr3 gpu
WD 120gb SATA hd

As for the temperature of my cpu, it never goes over 50 degree on load and 35 degree when idle (no ac room) and im using Deep Cool Ice blade.[recorded using Speed fan] No oc also

For my Hd 4670,the maximum temp when i play NBA 2k10 (the most game i played) is 49 degree.[recorded using MSI afterburner] I also increased the clock and memory setting to 780/1000. Ive been using this setting for like 1 year already.Fan is set at 100%. Before this i can play games like Dirt2,Metro 2033 and Just Cause 2 at high settings without any problems at all. Then this prick problems come again. huhhhh....

I also want to point out that im using small casing. Is that a problem?i can play games with no prob at all before..

Does increasing my card setting cause all of this?

Thank you so much to all that is reading.I hope that this problem can go away for good...

thx for the reply but whats wrong with the ram?

HOLY S!!! it works!! ive just played 2 5minute quaters of NBA2k10 and not a single lag! How do you know it was the ram??

Secondly, when i took out the ram i just remember that i have diff brand of rams. 1 is kingston and another 1 is Corsair. But both have the same frequency. Is one of the ram broken??

Thank you so much bro!! Can you explain a bit? hehehe im kind a newbie also

Added on August 27, 2010, 12:06 pmit turns out that the lag still persist, but the frequency is less.Can it is because of 1 gig ram only?

hahaha,i also cant believe that time.once i take off the ram, the lag just gone for a while. So as the consequences, which one is better ----> should i buy another 1gb Kingston(with the same specs) or 2gb Kingston?

To squall0833: The lag is like fps suddenly dropping,happens around 2-5 second, once in 30 to 1 minute. Really frustrating. It happens in any game, on any settings.

hi guyssss

thanx for the reply.latest update, were back to square one. eventhough i used one stick ram, the 30 second then lag thing still happen. (T^T) i tried both stick and both slot,nothing changes.i wonder what makes it stop lagging the 1st time i took off the ram?? mysterious..

thx for the input,i would try and report back later.ok?
