3 second freeze when play dota

Mascon — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 23:48:33 +0800

Hi all,

My PC running at C2D 2.4ghz, 2gb ram.. will feel the spike or delay (freeze 3 sec and things move damn fast) when playing dota for every 2 - 3 minutes. Im using a wireless D-Link adapter connected to my Linksys WRT54G. I have just reformatted my pc too and defrag my hard disk.
HOwever, when I play using my P4 laptop connected to the same Linksys router will not have the spike problem.

Can anyone here give some advice how to solve the spike problem on my PC? Is it my D-link adapter problem or other part of my pc ?

Thank you.

I have experienced this scenario many times.

Once a while , when I start or reply msg on msn messenger. It will prompt me a msg like " Cant start with Ah Seng" and msn messenger get disconnected.
Then my modem light will turn green, streamyx disconnected. Have to restart the modem again.

Anyone has the same problem as me??
Is this streamyx problem, modem problem or messenger problem?
