MSI Laptop 1-3 second Freezelags

[venomztw]

So, like the title says, I`ve got a freezelag problem with my MSI Laptop.

Before I go into explaining the problem any further, here are the specs:

MSI Model: GE-70
Intel Core i7 4700MQ @ 2.4GHz (3.4GHz with auto Intel Boost)
Graphics 1: Nvidia Geforce 765M 2GB
Graphics 2: Intel HD Graphics 4600
8GB RAM
OS: Windows 8.1 64

So.... Basically the main, and only problem is the freezelags which appear in every single game I`ve played on it so far. Its the kinda lag that makes your game stop completely for 1-5 seconds at a time. (General performance is actually really good for a laptop, but the freezelags are killing me.)

Within 30 minutes of playing, I experience this freezelag somewhere between 3-10 times, and its really starting to piss me off
Honestly, Ive got no idea as to why this is happening...I cant think of a single thing that can make this happen.

All my drivers are up to date (Chipset, Intel drivers, Nvidia drivers...you name it...I even did a Bios update a couple of months ago)


So, does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening? Really appreciate the help I can get.

Thanks a bunch

It's an old topic but I faced this problem for an year before I got it solved, but I did.

Whenever some new file has to be used on the fly by the game, it takes seconds of a freeze on image while the sound will keep going (sometimes even some animations will keep on going), or even vice-versa, more rare but still occurs, when the sound freezes in a second loop, but the image will go on.

It's a common problem with the APM used by the HDD. It will enter a power saving mode after some time of inactivity. Now I use a software called Crystal Disk Info, which let's you setup the APM level to FEh.

Don't know if you still have the laptop, but I hope this helps anyone trying to solve it.

Is the lag period the same as your HD powersaving? I had a WDC hard drive that had powersaving set on. Try this:

In short: go to power saving and turn hard drive powersaving off by setting it to 0.

Please I created an account just to ask this. I've lost all hope, I've had this issue for more than a year and I can't play games on my computer that i've spent all my money on. I'm literally going mad at this point (no joke, literally). And now I've found this thread. I downloaded Crystal Disk Info, and it won't allow me to change the settings you showed. I just can't click on it. We almost have to same HDD. Please help me anyone who is reading this HELP MEE

Try running CDI as an Administrator, it might work!
