Recently my laptop that i had for awhile with no problems had an unfortunate accident involving a dog breaking a table leg and getting smashed/ 1lt bottle of water burst open all over, so i went to insurance and they gave me a new laptop only thing is i have really random lag spikes it's a windows 8 pc on my old windows 7 i would average 150ms (I am in Nz that is considered a reasonably good ping for oceanic players) now i sit at a steady 190 but it will spike upto 1700 the spikes are not consistent in any means and sometimes vary from a few seconds to getting kicked off the server.
This problem also happens with skype league of legends and youtube videos sadly i did not get much of a say in the computer because my insurance company deals with one company for computers and this is the model they said was equivilant to my computer and basicly just gave it to me, here is a link to the computer so far this is all i really know http://www.hpshopping.co.nz/acquire/...=2743932&tab=0. i can't figure out the issue at all i am running on wireless i have not checked to see if it happens connected to the modem but the modem does sit in the next room with nothing much but a thin wall between it and my computer.
I am at a loss as to what i can do to solve this issue but it is making it impossible to commit to anything more then running dailies and even then that can be difficult, so i hope someone out there who has better knowledge of things then me can help me out here I will check this forum often and try help answer all the questions i can to give more information.
