Hello everyone!
After looking for solutions to my problem for a while I have decided to make my own thread. If the thread belongs to another place on the forum please let me know! I'll explain my problem now:
For a while now I have been experiencing fps drops. They appear when I have been playing a game for a few minutes(an example is CS:GO). I get around 150 fps on CSGO and it has always been like that until some day I start getting these spikes where my fps falls back to 30-40 for about 10-20 seconds. After the spike it goes back up to 150ish fps, and about 30 seconds later it spikes again. This happens all the time during the game and recently I have even experienced my laptop freezing, followed by a crash, during the lag spikes.
I have to note: My laptop makes quite a lot of sound when I have high fps, and is fairly quiet during the lag spikes. Could it be my graphics card shutting down for a second and running on the intel HD graphics for some reason?
Solutions I have tried:
- Cleaning all software I do not need/trust from my laptop
- Cleaning the fan of my graphics card with a can of compressed air(as much as I could, I'm afraid to break things)
- Reinstalled and updated nividia drivers, also reverted to old drivers
- Set the power management for these games to not be adaptive, this caused freezes followed by my laptop crashing.
About temperatures:
A while ago my graphics card & cpu have hit around 90 degrees(celcius)
Atm they both usually hit 80-85 MAX after playing for a while, but more 75ish.
Does anyone know what could possibly be the problem and does anyone have some solutions I could try? I feel like it's my GPU, but I could be completely wrong.
Laptop: Lenovo Ideapad Y510p
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GT 755M
CPU: Intel Core i7 - 4700MQ @ 2.40 GHz
If anyone needs any more information to help me, please let me know as I am sure I probably forgot to add some info!
