need major help

[xNIKx]

so last saturday i was playing counter strike source and i did 2 scrims, then on my 3rd i started getting choke. The last thing i did before i played was take out my harddrive to get the serial number.

Now i get like alot of choke when im playing any source game, only real online games i play. Im talking like 40 choke. I experience no choke while playing half life 2 and gameplay is smooth in oblivion on max settings on 1680x1050. I also get great fps and great ping.

however, i have a small cut in my network cable which i put electrical tape over.

And i dont know if its just me but my start up seems slower and loading in games at times seems a bit slower.

I have done virus scans and they havent fixed the problem. i did a memtest for 45 mins and had no errors.

windows xp 32bit pro
evga 680i mobo
evga 8800GTS
e6600
seasonic 600W psu
gskill 2gbs ram
seagate 250gb hd

Wrong forum. Post in Software.

this isnt software related tho, im having hardware problems causing my slowdowns.

How do you know it's hardware? Other games run fine. That means it's probably software.

 

[xNIKx]

other games that dont use the internet.

And this is explicitly NOT a troubleshooting forum. Read the first topic on the board. Please take it to software, hardware, or technical support.

If you are having problems with it, and it is the only game that connects to the internet, then this belongs in the networking forum.

If the game does not work, but others do, then it is software related. Meaning it would belong in the software forum.

If it is truly hardware related, then it belongs in the General Hardware forum, or the Technical Support Forum.

Either way, IT DOES NOT BELONG HERE. This is where you discuss the algorithms used in CS's networking source code, or the processing steps used to send a signal from the game to the Network card. This is not the "Help, my computer does not work" forum (which would be fairly obvious if people would take the half-second required to read the forum description.)

i guess ill make a new thread in network
this is happening on my sisters computer too, so its not hardware. i reseted my router but its still happening any dieas?

It's obviously a hardware issue if you start choking during game play. I would recommend a physician. What have you been eating lately? Is there something obstructing your "neck pipes". Is it so serious that you require the Heimlich maneuver?

If I had to hazard a guess, I would say that you're attempting to eat, exhale, inhale, cough, and chew gum all at the same time, and it causing you to choke. Am I right? I knew it.
