im afraid im gonna have to confiscate your testicles.

What are you, the Cyber police? lol.

I know it may seem stupid but today was a day where I had an unusual ping, I usually was around 400 in every server I joined, when I first joined one I had Xfire running and I saw my ping and shut down Xfire, I went back in the game and still had 400 ping, I rebooted Halo and still... had the same ping, I restart my computer and still had the same ping, I dont know if it will go on...
Can someone help me?

Your Internet sucks; that or you're running BitTorrent or another filesharing program.

If there are other people in your house, they may be using bit torrent when my sisters uses it my ping shoots to 450. You could also go down to the router and unplug every connection that not yours, that should really help lower your ping. And if all else falls, use a leafblower.

My internet is fine, I always got 40-81 ping...
But recently my father opened up the CPU of my computer, could that have done anything?

what's your ISP? My cheapy DSL often stupiditizes and stays at 400-1200 ping for random amounts of time.

Also, you've got to have really really sharp fingernails to open up a cpu. A can opener just won't cut it.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Fastmatt had a problem like this. I believe he solved his problem with a run-of-the-mill leafblower. Perhaps you should query him for a solution. Maybe he'll come around and reply to your thread.

Use HLSW to track your ping, it is useful. Close all filesharing programs and anything that might slow down your net.

NEVER have steam open.

I think thats what my father meant, im not sure, I wasnt around at the time.
I am still pounding my head against my desk thinking of a way to find out why my ping is so high.

These people say leaf blower.

I say industrial vacume cleaner on reverse, with the small nozzle.

And what you need to do if that doesn't work is:

Get your dad on here to tell us just wtf he did to your case, did he remove a RAM stick or something?

If he messed with the CPU itself then your computer wouldn't work...unless he didn't reconnect the cooling fans then it may be running hot...or didn't seat the heatsing correctly...your dad knows his way around a computer, right?

Well he didnt do anything really, actually he told me he just looked and took out my graphics card... but how can that do any harm?

He took out your graphics card? Did he put it back in? And he may have moved around some dust, get a leaf blower.

Of course he put it back in. Well when me and him opened it up the first time, there was tons of dust in it, that time I had no problem with my ping, so we cleaned it out, It doesnt make sense, I guess ill just go back in and clean it out again...

it's possible he got crud on the contacts of your graphics card, but I guess I would need to know if you are noticing lag, as that would itself not cause high ping but not noticeable lag.

Yes... I get lag around 400 ping, but thats when im running music on here.

so, your ping is up, but your not noticing lag.

The only thing he touched was your gfx card.

I am stumpped dude, you must have cought a bug or something, because messing with the gfx card would cause you to lag, not just make your ping go up.
