New ALienware 15x r2 computer is super laggy

[anders11]

I just bought my computer off Ebay, and it seems to be really laggy. Nothing at all found with MSE, spybot, maleware antibytes. I dont really have a problem with browsing the internet but sometimes my mouse will get laggy for a few seconds. The main problem is when I game (usually WoW) it is really laggy which is uncalled for with my computer. My video driver was up to date. When I got the computer its hard drive was erased and had a fresh copy of Windows 7 on it. Everything works fine, only having a lag issue.

That's a pretty poor GPU, what settings are you running WoW at? Try turning them down?

Even on low settings its laggy. Its hardly noticeable while browsing the internet but even with simple things I notice theres a small lag to it. It seems to be the whole computer going slow.
