Lenovo laptop Y580

[charpidis]

Hi guys. I have a lenovo y580.I'm making this thread because I have some problems with it...while the performance is great(I run skyrim on ultra high with some mods as well) and some other games on very high/ultra I don't have problems with fps/performance in general, but!There is one problem..My laptop often freezes/ is super slow.For example I play CS:GO and when I alt+tab to answer a call on skype it takes so much time even my pc freezes..sometimes when I play it starts screen freezing as well and when I'm out of games(browsing) it's super slow and many times when I click on a program it goes "not responding"..

Specs are: GTX 660M/i7 3610 cpu/ 4GB ram / 1366x768 resolution(I bought the weaker version of y580 I'm aware of that)...Thanks in advance..

It can be the CPU throttling due to temps, are you monitoring those? also, are you plugged or on battery when this happens? as it can be a performance setting issue

Uhm, I'm not monitoring the cpu temps..can you tell me a good program for that?cause I use only MSI afterburner to monitor GPU temps..and yes I am always charging my laptop even if it's 100%, 24/7.

You can monitor them using HWMonitor.

Played a bit of CS:GO and the CPU temps were 80C, GPU 77C..I played cs and sometimes it froze for 1-2s..I really have no idea..it's not about ram usage or something..🙁

Edit: I played for 1 hour cs:go and the CPU temps went 93C and GPU 92 ^^ I'm still ingame and the PC is kinda freezing...so I think you might be right..:/
