Here is my issue.
Out of seemingly nowhere, I will get a crippling drop in frame rate. All of a sudden my games will slow down and until I do a restart, it will stay that way, even if I wait for 1/2 an hour.
I just typed out this big thing only to have my internets crash, so heres a brief summary because its late and i'm cranky.
1. I DO NOT believe it is an overheating issue, my cores idle at around 51-54 and during gaming go up to around 58-61. My GPU idles at around 61 (After the computer has been on for awhile) and rises to around 74-79 during gaming... With gaming notebooks I think this is average.
2. This can start anywhere from after 3 hours of constant play, to 5 minutes into the start of the game. I don't understand it.
3. Exiting and restarting the game doesn't work, all games then suffer from crippling frame rate, rest of the system (Independant of games) runs perfectly fine. Won't fix until I restart.
4. Bios and drivers are up to date.
5. I've heard something about laptops "Throttling down" processing speed during intensive energy usage, if someone knows more about this feel free to help.
6. Laptop is new, not completely sure if it's a hardware issue or not.
7. Settings are not too high, laptop can run Dawn of War 2 on high settings with virtually no lag, until the whatever the hell happens.
Any help would be -greatly- appreciated. It hurts saving for 6 months to buy a 2000 dollar machine (Part time job, full time student, family obligations) and not have it perform like it should.
Anyone who thinks they can help, please post. This is driving me up the wall, if you need additional specs I can provide them right away. Heres the basics
Vista 64x Home Premium SP2
6 Gigs of 800Mhz Ram (Pretty sure)
600 Gigs of HD
260M Nvidia Mobile graphics card (1gig ddr3 dedicated)
Intel Core 2 quad 9000Q 2.0 Ghz
Please suggest anything you think. Again, I don't believe it's an heating issue. It happens so randomly I just don't know!
