Well, perhaps not lag, but let me explain.
When I'm playing a game, like a source based game (HL2, CSS, etc) or BF2 or other high end game with ATITool running, the controls will randomly freeze and keep doing whatever it was I was doing before they froze. Say like I'm running it'll keep running in that direction. I can still aim with the mouse, but I can't shoot or anything (unless I was shooting when the controls freeze, in which case it keeps shooting). Eventually, after about, say, three seconds, the controls go back to normal and I can play again. However, it keeps re-occuring, maybe...every 30 seconds to one minute. After closing ATITool, the problem goes away.
I got this problem a while ago, but since I'd just updated some hardware I thought it might be something to do with that so after a little fiddling (that didn't fix the problem) I formatted and reinstalled. After the reinstall, all's good
I installed ATITool 0.25 beta 1(same as I had before the format), off we go, smooth sailing. Then I install the latest (beta 7, I think?) and start up a game, there's the control lag again. I think it might be because I'm installing a newer version of it, I don't know. Still, if I close ATITool, the problem goes away. So, I'm rather stumped.
Anyway, system specs ahoy...
Athlon 64 3500+ (ClawHammer)
Sapphire Radeon X850XT (Latest Catalyst, 5.8)
Creative Audigy 2 ZS (Latest drivers, 2.03.0004)
GA-K8N Ultra-SLI Nforce 4 SLI chipset. (Latest drivers, 6.66)
2gb Corsair XMS-3200C2 (2.5-3-3-6)
WinXP x64 (Updated latest)
So, any ideas?
Oh, yes, and none of this is overclocked at all.
