Answer Question
My computer slows down when connected to internet
First of all - I am NOT talking about internet speed (that's pretty good, down 20 Mbps and up 5,9 Mbps)
Second of all - excuse my english. :)
The thing is, that entire computer seems to slow down. Not dramaticaly, but enough to bother me. Some examples:
When I'm typing something in google, or IM, sometimes it freezes for 5 seconds or so, then the writing shows up, copying my actions during the freeze (writing, deleting letters...), but much faster.
Browsing seems not to be affected, but it's hard to tell - couse I can't compare it to browsing with internet cable unplugged for obvious reasons :)
What I can compare is the performance while I play off-line games. I've been playing Half-life 2 recently. No lags, no problems at all. As long as internet cable is unplugged.
On the other side, cable plugged in, couses game to run slower. Lot of lags, graphics as well as sound. Not browser, nor IM turn on. Nothing changed, but the cable is plugged in.
I would like to play some multiplayer games, but it's not that fun with lags every other second.
My system specifications:
HP Pavilion dv5 Notebook PC
Windows Vista Home Premium SP2
AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-72 2.1 GHz
RAM 4 GB
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450 (512 MB)
Realtek RTL8168C(P)/811C(P) Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0)
What did I tried? I changed cables, i tried other ISP (other location, at school) and I'm going to re-install Vista (or move to win 7) after exams, if noone will come up with simple solution to my problem.
Thanks for reading this so far and for words of advice, if there will be some :)
