Hi guys, This is going to be a long one, please do read the whole of it.
I've bought a hp-15af006ax for college stuff ( reading pdfs, watching video lectures, movies, giving presentations..etc.), but since i do play a flight simulator called Flight gear i considered buying a laptop with a discrete gpu. I'm putting out the specs here,
amd a8-7410 @ 2.2 Ghz.
4 gb ddr3 ram @1600 Mhz( this will be upgraded to 8 gb in a few days!)
Radeon r5 M330 gpu with latest hotfix installed
toshiba 500gb hdd @5400 rpm
well its clear that i was on a budget while purchasing this laptop.I performed a dual-boot with Ubuntu 15.10 and win 10 pro version 1151..The problem being faced is, on windows 10 many lags are shown, for example: cursor blink rate stops suddenly, mouse pointer stops responding suddenly by just freezing for a second or two, the windows minimize and maximize slowly....this occurs mostly when chrome is open.
But the freeze of the mouse pointer occurs about 5 times per minute i.e., its very frequent.
on flight gear too the frame rate increases to 30 and again comes down to 1fps..the frame spacing is horribly fluctuating..
To put my problem in a nutshell, the system suddenly works fine and suddenly slows down drastically. its just annoying.
The thing that stuns me is that no such stupid things happen on ubuntu. Even flight gear runs at decent fps (30-50)without proprietary drivers installed for the gpu.
Is windows 10 not utilizing all the cores of my apu? or is it that windows 10 is faulty?
One last thing to say is that i have tested win 7, win 8.1.. all windows versions show this lagging.
in the first few days after the install the system is fine.. after a week or so, it starts behaving crazy.
Please do suggest what to do
Thanks in advance!
