Hello,
I just purchased a Lenovo y510p for Christmas and right out of the box we've had problems.
I bought it so my son could play his video games smoothly, but we keep getting one problem that keeps occuring.
The main game he loves to play is sims3 but after a while of playing a particular file, we get weird freezes. Once they start, they won't stop and we have to start a new file, which will work for a while then the freezes usually come back. It freezes for about 2 seconds when we try to move somewhere or do something. this happens maybe every 30 seconds. it's like it's "sticky".
This was also happening in one other game as well which was not nearly as demanding on graphics as sims3.
All the drivers were updated which seemed to help a bit at first. I also uninstalled the sims and re-installed it. Then all was good for about a week and now the problem is returning.
My son seems to think the laptop is getting too hot. I really don't know how hot is too hot. But during the sims it gets quite hot. Not sure if this could be an issue.
Anyone out there with any ideas?
Thanks very much!
Katherine
