My CPU: Intel core i5 4200u 1.6ghz
GPU: Nvidia Geforce 820m
Device: ASUS X550l Laptop
I could play GTA V, PES 2017 and games like that in medium/low graphics even a few months ago. Suddenly, it all started lagging, I tried every fix thinking my GPU had problems but after using MSI afterburner I saw that the actual problem was my CPU usage reaching 100% after some time in the game. I cleaned the dust and then noticed something. I played some games with the CPU naked (exposed, lid open) and they were running fine. Cpu usage was reaching near 60%-70%. But when I screwed back the upper dock(the keyboard dock) over it, the same problem. While the CPU was open, I noticed the fan releasing hot air upwards, naturally, my CPU was overheating with the keyboard dock screwed. I don't know what to do now, never used a cooling pad and don't know if they work. Any fix?
