Vista - Annoying lag moments when working/gaming

Alright, now, i have been pissed off by something that almost every 60 seconds, my computer goes really slow, internet browser is hard to open, my games lag like hell, and stuff like that. And I have searched for help from all the internet, but all of them are saying that i should reboot my WLAN or something. The thing is, that it's not the wireless that is lagging, it's not my internet, it's the computer. I have an awesome laptop that runs nearly every game perfectly, but every 60 secs, my laptop lags like hell and it's annoying to play. And even when i am playing singleplayer, it still lags. In internet games it's so disturbing because i cant pause the game for 60 seconds cause of the lag. So I really would like to hear some help because this is lame. Thank you, good bye.

and by lag you mean? FPS drop? Ping goes sky high?

Yes, FPS goes hell of a low, so low that it pisses me off because i've gotten use to gameplay with good fps'. And that's it, everyone i've asked, they answer that i should reboot my wlan or something, but it will not work because my ping and network connection speed does not fall or rise. This happens even in bad graphical games like cross fire and counter strike 1.6... And even when i am not playing, it can come when i use my internet browser or work with some videos or draw with my tablet.

im not sure why they think rebooting your connection will help , we need to monitor your gpu see whats going on when the fps dips are you familiar with an app called riva tuner?

could you download and install it then report back and ill tell you what to do ..........

RivaTuner v2.24c download from Guru3D.com

thats if your sure its fps , if its ping and your wireless this wil help ...........

Vista Anti-Lag Software Informer: Latest version download, news and info about this Codecase.de program.

its odd your fps dip is every 60 seconds , i know that vista searches for new wireless networks evey 60 seconds and if your wireless this can cause you to lag out exactly every 60 secs , vista antilag will stop that hapeening

Yes, now i've downloaded the rivatuner and installed it too. And now, i'd like to ask that do you have steam or something? so we could talk more easily? If you do, add me with this name 'Tumbo10'.

And BTW, I got a little information from my friend, and i found out the reason. The reason is, that when i play games, suddenly the computer is about to shut down and overheat, but instead of shutting down, it starts rotating the fans as fast as it can, and the heat goes low, and the game starts to lag because it's over heating. That's it. But i would like to get a program that could cool down my computer

New to this forum. I have the same problem with COD 4. Running Vista Home Premium 64bit w/ Service Pack 2, AMD Quadcore processing, Directx 10. Having lag spikes every 60sec or so. Only happens with online gaming.

My problem is that I am running through an Ethernet cable, not wireless, and all the solutions I find are related to wireless. There is a laptop in the house patched into the network through wireless, but I am using the desktop for gaming.
