DELL XPS L702X running slow on games.

[fpr1990]

Hello, I have a Dell XPS 17 L702X

with 2 GPU, one is Nvidia 555M and the other one is Intel Graphics 3000, both up to date.

When I bought the pc, the games were running smoothly, now they continously lag and they run slow. Please help me anyone? I tried everything I could!

Warranty expired =S
Any other options?

bring it in to a local shop, get it air blasted, probably getting rid of some dust might help.

maybe also buy a laptop cooler that helps to cool it off.

whats the screen size of ur laptop&

wow! Thank you man, I appreciate a lot! By the way, I've a customized battery, the on with ion, it's the one thicker, so the laptop it doesn't stay plain on a surface. Will make any difference?
