help cable connection being screwy

[speedyvision]

hey lately i have noticed that when i play counter-strike my latency is around 200 when its usually around 50. i dont think its my connection cuz we have 2 other comps hooked up that run fine on the internet along with mine. could my lag be cuz of my video card getting soo hott????

is your ping like that on every server?? do you have any p2p programs running?

ya on all the server ive been goin into, and i have nothing at all running, i think it might be because of heat because awhile back i was lagging really bad so i shutdown and took a fan and faced it towards the inside of my case for like 5 min and when i went back in i wasnt lagging (same server)

anyone agree or disagree???

well i know one thing that computers and hardware do not like heat. one time my cpu got over 70°C and things started to freeze and you could hear strange noises coming from the comp. other than your ping problem, i have no idea. I know sometimes when i play Return To Castle Wolfenstein my ping will jump up and down on some servers. For me it all depends on how many "laggers" there are in the game and how many people in total there are. If the server isn't really good, it can't handle so many people playing.
