When i play online games i lag every 1 min for about 5 seconds(even freezes the game and the ping sky rockets).I dont usually lag,it happened about 2-3 weeks ago and it came from nowhere.
Any suggestions?

I*s this reproducible?  If so, try doing a Clean Boot to see if you can identify a program or service that is causing the problem.

 

Perform a clean startup to determine whether background programs are interfering with your game or program

Is it every game or one specific game?

Does it happen all the time or only sometimes?

 

Any changes to your system around that time? Add or remove hardware or software, update a driver?

Try uninstalling AVG and use the built in Windows Defender or download and use Microsoft Security Essentials, see if that makes a difference.
