Computer is having a fit
« on: December 27, 2010, 01:02:16 am »

Yesterday I was playing video games like Silverfall and Grand-Ages: Rome; but now they are all having problems. Silverfall worked fine, but today when you try to start a game or load one it starts freezing for a few seconds, played for a few milliseconds, then freezes for a few seconds again. Although when I minimize it I can hear it working fine (the music froze too, but not when minimized).

Grand-Ages, well the tutorial works even though it's a little laggy when you go to the campaign it freezes for a few seconds whenever you try to move the camera. Seems to be fine when you hold still though.

Changing the graphic on these has no effect.

I can't figure out what happened. I played them fine, went to sleep, woke up, couldn't play them anymore.

Anyone have an idea to what's going on?

I also seem to lag while using the browser even when all my CPU isn't being used up... If that helps at all.

You probably hit a memory leak in one of the programs you were running
