Unhappy I think my computer is breaking, and I have no idea what to do about it

When no one else has any lag going on, my tells can sometimes be delayed for literal minutes at a time. Also affected: spells. I can start a spell, and not have it start until minutes after I cast it. Sometimes NPCs sneak up on me, and I die to them even though I have sow and should be able to outrun them.

My graphics have been bugging out, too. The screen will turn white, in... lines originating at a point? That point usually being a character/NPC model.

What's going on?

If it helps, the game runs with 100% no issues on my 2012 11" macbook air on the same wifi network. Just kinda hard to play, especially with pvp involved lol.

I'd say check your fans to make sure they are all running and free of dust. If they are sounds like your Video card is acting up. Could try uninstalling the drivers for it and reinstalling. If you still have issues i'd say maybe time to invest in new video card.

Pour water on it. My cpu works much better when water cooled.

Check the temps of your cpu and gpu(s)

When did this problem start?

How many processes do you have running? ctrl+alt+del/start task manager/processes

4g of ram.. you might have something eating it

Temps looks like they're 46-55ºC

Says 43 processes, but I can only see 13 things in the list.

I noticed this way back in April, at least the spell lag. It would make it nearly impossible to keep my groups healed for hours at a time, then would miraculously end and not be an issue for a few days.
