Laptop gaming problems

[Matthieu Howell]

Hi there I hope YOU can help a fellow gamer.

lets get straight into the mess

i Have a fujitsu laptop it has:

an core i5-2450 2.5 GHZ cpu

a GT525M gpu

6Gb of DDR3 866MhZ ram

games i play BF4,Bf3,Dayz,tombraider,Bo2

the problem i have is that i can get high frames in most games at low to high settings and get 40 fps
the frame rate is not bothering me but there is this one really annoying problem! i can be getting 60FPS when bam suddenly as im about to pull the trigger or just walking a along or crafting the game freezes for 1 to 3 to even 6 seconds sometimes then bam everything back to normal ? why is this as i can get playable frames all the time but this problem makes some games enjoyable and unplayable D; ? are there any possible solutions or problems that are causing this thanks to every one who can help

Love from a pc gamer

Sounds like a possible disk I/O issue. Are you using a mechanical hard drive? And is your graphics driver up to date for the 525M?

5400 RPM = ouch! That could be the problem. It sounds like whenever the hard drive spins up for an I/O operation, your game hangs. Not much you can do to fix that as it's more or less a problem with the RPM (i.e, the drive is too slow).

You can defrag it and see if that reduces how often this happens, as well as possibly reducing the time it happens for on each occurrence. Auslogics Disk defrag is a good utility for defragging.

A faster drive should help, especially a solid state drive.

You're welcome.

Alas, USB 2.0 will not be better. I don't think USB 3.0 will be either. USB operates in a "burst" mode, meaning that data transmission speed is inconsistent.
