    Hi I've had a big lag playing games eg minecraft 

    I've got the hp Compaq dc7600 small form factor 

    My friends have got worse computers with lower specs but the play games with no lag unlike mine

    Is it a configuration problem with the CPU/prosesser 

    My computer has a Pentium 4/ 2.8GHz prosesser

    When I play minecraft the CPU utilization goes strait to 100%

    Hi,

    3D gaming performance could be affected by CPU, Video Card performance, Ram or even hard disk speed. In aspect of software, you could adjust video settings in game and sometimes old video driver could also causes these issue so it is hard to tell.

    If you don’t have a discrete graphics card, The CPU will do the job instead and it also could cause high CPU usage.

    Windows® Performance Toolkit consists of performance monitoring tools that produce in-depth performance profiles of Windows operating systems and applications. As what has been suggested by MVP ZigZag if you think there is problem on your machine, give it a try.

    Hi James,

    If you are not running Internet Explorer, the Iexplorer.exe should not be running in Task manager. I think you need to check on that. Shutdown this process and check if it comes back again. If it comes back automatically or pops up when your system startup, you might need to check your startup program and give it a full scan by using antivirus software.
