Lag while gaming

[Steve Presley]

I found this forum through a friend and maybe you can't help me with this. My problem is lag while gaming, either off or online. I expierience a slowdown for about 10 seconds, then it's fine for 10 seconds. I have reformatted 4 times, I have taken out my onboard sound, taken out my video card, taken out ALL windows updates, changed RAM sticks and changed power supplies. I ran the Spybot program and there are no issues, I did Hijack This and will post the results here. My system info is :

next:

Download SDFix and save it to your Desktop.

http://downloads.andymanchesta.com/RemovalTools/SDFix.exe


Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
(Drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix)

Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :

* Restart your computer
* After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
* Instead of Windows loading as normal, the Advanced Options Menu should appear;
* Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press Enter.
* Choose your usual account.

* Open the extracted SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
* Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
* It will remove any Trojan Services and Registry Entries that it finds then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
* Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
* When the PC restarts the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
* Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt
(Report.txt will also be copied to Clipboard ready for posting back on the forum).

post the sdfix log and a new hjt log. any reason why you arent running service pack 2??
