Choppy Movement In Games?

Aug 22, 2012

I having been having this issue for a while and I find that most people do not understand what I am trying to describe. The issue is when trying to move or look around in games like Skyrim everything appears jerky. Or anytime the view field pans. If the view field is still everything in the view field run smooth as silk with no jumping/choppiness. It feels almost like the game is loading or I am having .2-.5 seconds of lag. This really puts a damper on any game that I am trying to play.This issue happens in almost every game I play. It occurs in Skyrim, Diablo 3, Magicka, and even older games like the original never winter nights.

PC Games Running Choppy?

Jun 4, 2012

i have the following PC configuration for about 1 year:

AMD Athlon x3 450
ATI HD 5670
MB Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-S2
Sirtec ATX-410-212
Win 7 32 bit Home Premium
Kaspersky antivirus
SiliconPower DDR3 4 GB

I have a rather peculiar problem with my Desktop PC.The problem appeared a couple of months ago, while I was playing Skyrim. It started to lag pretty badly, even on the lowest settings. I would have understood if it was lagging from the beginning, probably my pc couldn't handle the game, but the strange thing is that it was working just fine before, no lag, constant fps (above 30 on medium settings), now it�s like 15-20 fps. I think "choppy" is the perfect word to describe my gaming experience for the last months. I mean it's not that "game-breaking" lag that completely ruins your experience but enough to annoy you.I have this problem with all of my other games too, games that worked perfectly before. I'm pretty pissed off right now, I've tried dusting my pc, scanning for viruses, updating my Windows, changing my ram, updating my drivers, defragging; I've also tryed replacing my psu with a higher power one, but didn't change anything.

Some symptoms that I thought were important (and weird):

-It does not lag in multiplayer, only in single player.

-I�ve tried pulling out the ram stick and putting it back in and for about 5-10 minutes it worked perfectly but then it started to lag again.

-It starts to lag after some time after the install, in the first couple of minutes it works ok but then it lags every time I run it.The temperatures are fine, the graphic card does not pass 60* and my cpu stays at around 40-50* (in game).

Games Choppy With More Than Enough Computing Power

Apr 4, 2012

I have dual core 2.5 processors, a Nvidia 9500 GT, and a Sata hard drive all running on windows 7 32 bit. I know this is no where near a top of the line setup but it is choppy running 4 year old games! I almost double the recommended, not minimum, hardware requirements for "The Witcher" the game I am trying to get to play smoothly and yet it is still choppy. If I lower the settings completely it is playable but still not where it should be. I have updated my video drivers, cleaned my registry, reinstalled the game, scanned for viruses, using AVG free, and defragged my hard drive. From here I don't even know where to go. I left task manager running last time to see if my processors were maxing while playing and they hit around 80% and my ram peaked to about 70%.

Computer Acting Choppy And Sluggish After Closing Games

Aug 28, 2012

As of maybe a month or two ago my computer has been acting rather strange. The first thing I noticed is that now whenever I need to restart my computer (for updates, ect.) the screen will flash for a few seconds, return to normal, flash for another second or two, and then properly restart. Then a few weeks after that, I noticed my computer having trouble when I play games on my comp (I built my comp originally as a gaming rig).

After exiting games like Minecraft, Red Orchestra 2, Total War, or any of the other games I play, my computer will act sluggish for a few minutes after they close. It generally takes a minute or two until my comp seems to be back up to speed. Another thing is that my computer seems to have a difficult time closing my games, especially Red Orchestra 2. When I exit RO2 my comp will sit there at the game screen as if its frozen (I can't move my mouse or anything) and then finally exit the game.

Then, after exiting the game my comp screen will be all distorted and it will take another 10 seconds or so for the screen to return to normal. RO2 is definitely the worst when it comes to closing, all of the other games for the most part close fine, but my comp will still perform slowly after I exit any game. Normally, after I exited a game I could jump right in to my browser, start menu, or any other app if I wanted to.

Mouse / Pointer Movement Is Very Erratic

Jun 20, 2012

I just barely reinstalled my Windows 7 computer, and have transferred my files back to my computer from an external hard drive. I decided to sort and delete unused files, when eventually my mouse movement started to move very erratic. Moving to the left seems to cover less ground, while moving to the right seems to work normally. Up and down has the same effects as left movement, which is why moving to the right isn't always smooth or perfect. I am using a wired Razer Deathadder mouse (left handed), and have the correct drivers installed. I have restarted the computer but I still have the same symptoms.

Mouse Is Recognized But No Pointer Movement?

Jul 12, 2012

Today I started my PC, and everything was fine until I tried to move my mouse pointer. I don't know what's wrong because everything else from the mouse works perfectly fine, right/left click, in browser back/next (I'm using a r.a.t. 5 mouse). I tried reinstalling its software, and also tried different mice. Still only clicks are recognized, no movement.

Mouse Movement Skyrockets CPU Utilization (DPC Issue)

Jan 26, 2010

Okay, This issue has followed me through numerous windows 7 installs.

What happens is that I play certain games (so far only Borderlands and Mass Effect 2 set it off) for anywhere between an hour and two hours. Out of nowhere I start to get lag when I move my mouse. My sound crackles every time I move my mouse and playing the game becomes impossible. It is not an issue of overheating because I play many other games and monitor my temperatures and these games are nothing special in terms of heat. Also - I know it is my mouse causing the lag because I can look at complex things and strafe back and forth (obviously requiring things to be redrawn) and I receive ZERO LAG. But if I move my mouse in a tiny circle it causes massive lag.

If I exit the game once this has occurred it will continue to act this way until I restart my computer. If I open task manager and sort by processes it shows 30-40% utilization when moving my mouse but no processes are to blame. If I look at my cores in task manager my first core gets almost maxed every time I move my mouse. If I stop moving my mouse (or scrolling) it immediately drops back down to 0% and will shoot back up the second I move the mouse again.

I ran Process Explorer and it appears "DPCs" or Deferred Procedure Calls are to blame as they appear on the list and match the CPU usage EXACTLY. It is obviously a specific driver that is causing this overload and there are guides I've tried to follow online to dump the contents of my DPC to see which specific drivers are eating resources but I can't seem to get any of them to work with windows 7 x64. I would use DPC latency viewer and try disabling my USB because my mouse is USB to see if it fixes the issue but I would have no way of re-enabling it at that point.

and yes I've used DPC Latency viewer and it maxes out every time I move the mouse and claims a driver is responsible but this is not a program that can tell me WHICH driver.

I really need help to capture the contents of my DPC.

Stuck In Black Screen With Cursor Movement Only?

Oct 2, 2012

it started over a year ago when I started to get random BSOD messages, after no specific update, installation, or hardware change whatsoever.those usually included "IRQ_LESS_OR_EQUAL". usually after a crash it took some startup attempts to boot successfuly.

more recently crashes followed those BSOD's:
"BAD_POOL_CALLER"
"BAD_POOL_HEADER"
"BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO"

since the latest crash, the computer is failing to start - after widows logo appears, I get a black screen with a cursor. NO control afterwards - Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work and I all I can do is restart.

I tried:

1. safe mode (all kinds) - still get the black screen with no response

2. low resolution video mode- same

3. Windows Restore, both from the boot options dialog and from the WIN7 installation disc boot - it doesn't run, I get an error message ("the application referenced memory......... .....memory can't be read" )

4. memory check, it ran but I cant access the results.

5. Windows system files checker ('sfc'), via the repair tools command prompt - it doesn't start, says there's a startup repair pending so startup - yet there isn't

6. reset BIOS settings - nothing before the current trouble, at times, I also tried:

- reinstalling drivers for Graphic card, Network card and motherboard
- cleaning dust in the CPU cooler
- fastening connectors
- clean format (that was a long time ago but blue screens appeared even shortly afterwards)

nothing worked....

specs:
cpu: Intel I7
motherboard: Asus P7H55-M PRO
Graphic card: PNY nVidia Quadro 580
Windows 7 pro

New Video Card - White Lag Behind Window Movement

Nov 1, 2012

I just purchased a new Radeon 7970 video card and installed it. Downloaded the Catalyst Software and drivers for the 7900 series. Also redownloaded DirectX just incase. However when I move a window (i.e. browser window) around the screen there is a white lag trail left behind that I've never had before. I have a custom system and switched from a GTX 560Ti card (I deleted all Nvidia related items too).

Here are some system specs:
i7-2700k
G skill DDR3 1600 RAM - 8GB
180GB intel 520 SSD
1TB WD Caviar Black HDD
Sapphire Radeon 7970
ASUS P8Z68-VPro mobo

Freeze (lag) In Movement When Using Mouse Button With Ctrl / Alt Or Shift

Sep 5, 2011

There's a lag in windows when I hold and drag the mouse for selection rectangle, but only when I keep CTRL or ALT or SHIFT pressed along with the mouse button, there's a lag even with this simple rectangular marquee in windows, the movement gets frozen every 2-3 seconds. And when I hold and drag for rectangular marquee with mouse button only, there's no lag and it's smooth as it should be.

Same behavior in 3D softwares: lag when using mouse button + ctrl or alt or shift, and NO LAG when using mouse button only CTRL, SHIFT and ALT are the cause! But the problem now is how to fix that? I want to use the alt or shift or ctrl key along with the mouse in my 3D apps, it's so convenient and useful. I disabled tablet input service and it doesn't work.

Sony Vaio Laptop Cursor Random Movement Workaround

Aug 23, 2011

I recently bought a new Sony Vaio laptop and got on great with it until I noticed an aggravating problem.

Whenever I was typing some text, the cursor had an annoying habit of jumping all over the place, so I'd find myself typing text in the middle of a sentence I'd completed earlier.

It turns out that if you use a mouse without disabling the touchpad, the two conflict with each other, which results in this erratic cursor behaviour.

Why use a mouse you may ask. Well, I suffer with arthritis from time to time and a wireless mouse is easier to use than the touchpad.

So, if anyone has a Sony Vaio and is experiencing the same problem just go to:

Start>All Programs>Vaio Control Center>Categories Tab>Expand Keyboard & Mouse>Double-click Built-in Pointing Device>Uncheck Enable box>Apply>OK>Yes.

This disables the touchpad and stops the erratic cursor movement.

Getting Choppy Sounds

Jun 16, 2009

I'm new here and I'm having a problem with my sounds. I just installed Windows 7 RC 7100 64 bit last night and after I got everything installed today, I noticed songs that are being played in Winamp get a bit choppy when I'm browsing in Firefox (such as scrolling). ASUS G1 Intel 945PM Chipset Intel Core 2 Duo 2.00GHz T7200 667MHz FSB 4MB L2 Cache, Nvidia GeForce Go 7700 512mb (in DxDiag, it shows Approx. Total Memory: 1720 MB; I'm guessing it's using my rams also for additional memory, is this common.

Choppy Sports Playback On MC

May 12, 2009

OS: Windows 7 RC, 64-bit

Video Card: Intel X3100

Watching live sports in Media Center (via HDHR) is a nightmare. The audio is perfect, but the video will be slow motion for a few seconds then really fast to catch up, then slow again, etc.

I have tried the pre-release WDDM 1.1 drivers as well as the most recent Vista drivers from Intel. Both exhibit the same issue. The Vista drivers were slightly better but still difficult to watch.

I did not have this problem in Vista and regular TV shows are fine. Any advice?

Video Streaming Choppy?

Mar 12, 2011

I am having problems with playback of streaming video from the internet.Sound and buffering do just fine, but the video is often so choppy that it is unwatchable.Considering this machine is hooked up to my Mitsubishi WD-65837 TV as a HTPC, this is unacceptable.

The machine is:
AMD Sempron 3200+ 1.8 Ghz
4 GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD5570
Windows 7 Ultimate, fresh install
Networked via ethernet to router to cable modem

Here are some points/things I have tried:

*local video plays back just fine via VLC

*It happens both in original window and full screen

*I have disabled hardware acceleration on Flash player

*It is not a router/network problem, as I have a Dell Studio Laptop via wireless and it plays streaming video just fine

*All drivers and Catalyst are up to date

*Fresh install of Windows 7, so it isn't a resource problem

*I have messed with every setting in Catalyst

*Speedtest and Pingtest come out 13 MB/s and A grade

*Happens in IE, FF, Opera, and Chrome.

Display Is Giving Very Choppy Performance

Feb 10, 2012

I had great success with this forum (and Elmer in particular) in diagnosing and helping to fix the problem with my desktop. I'm now going for the double whammy and hoping for similar help with my laptop. It's an Acer Aspire 5536G. I've had it for about 2 years or so, and it was fine for the first 8-10 months, but then started displaying some very choppy performance. Basically it runs fine for about 15 seconds, then get very slow and choppy for the next 15-20 seconds. THen it's fine again for 15 seconds... and so on. It came with Vista pre-installed, which I upgraded to Windows 7 (32-bit) a couple of months ago hoping to resolve the problem. It has made no difference. I also had a HD problem with it (it corrupted and failed to boot). I was told by several different people that a faulty HD could be the cause of the choppiness. I've now replaced the HD with a spanking new one, reinstalled everything, and I've got the same issue. It happens principally whilst gaming, and sometimes while watching video. For a while I thoguht it was an overheating issue, but I bought a cooling base with a fan in it which certainly cools the laptop right down to touch (I assume it's much cooler inside too), but makes no difference to its performance.
