i remembered earlier today that over summer my brother kept complaining about his laptop having 100% usage, just like i am having it now. he fixed it somehow, guess i gotta call up my brother, hopefully what he did for his will help me with mine.
at this point i think this thread should be locked. so if someone with that power is reading this pls lock this thread. i have gotten a lot of great info from you guys and I thank you all. if u have any suggestions feel free to PM me.
hope to race you'ins soon!
***OPEN TO MORE SUGGESTIONS!!!***
i have found out that this is not a Halo/PC problem but is actually a networking problem (thnx to Mxy)
