Games start to lag after 20 minutes of playing..

[GraddzCZE]

Hi, its been two days since i always log on to my computer (win8) and play some games.. I am playing 15-25 minutes and then my CPU from 3-10% jumps to 15-40% and games are starting to lag ridiciously.. And then everything i need to do is just to LOG OUT and log back and the CPU is okay again.. It bothers me that every single 20 minutes i need to close a ingame playing and open up the game again.. Please someone help me.. I have notebook i7 i3630.. Its a gaming computer.. Now im not good at those things that computer includes, so can you please give me advise? thanks!

It sounds like yo GPU is getting too hot - can u tell us about your how your pc is set up?

 

[GraddzCZE]

can you please close up the question? How do you mean set up?

 

[snowctrl]

Set up - by that I mean what components, anything overclocked, case fans, air flow, cooling etc. Is this a self built pc? Fill us in

 

[Leemon]

What laptop is it? What GPU does it have?

Thats everything of information i found on dxdiag..

 

[Leemon]

It looks to me like you don't have a dedicated GPU which is why your games are lagging. You're using your CPUs Integrated GPU so it is working twice as hard to play games which is probably causing it to overheat and throttle. I'm afraid to tell you that your laptop is not a gaming laptop as it doesn't have a dedicated graphics card.

 

[GraddzCZE]

Oh wow lol, im playing Battlefield 4 on ultra graphics, so there is no way that its not gaming notebook...

 

[GraddzCZE]

And this wasnt happening an year since this started to happen, so year nothing, and then now?...

 

[GraddzCZE]

So it must be something else.. As i told you already, i was playing all games (even Battlefield 4) on ultra graphics for an year now, and 2 days ago it started.. I bought this pc for 899euro and it was in the section of gaming computers, it is very comfortable notebook.. No lags, ultra graphics, and no games were lagging at all, but now i cant understand it

 

[Leemon]

The information you posted didn't show a dedicated GPU. Go back to dxdiag and click on the Display tab and tell me what that info says.

This still isn't showing me you have a dedicated GPU. Click on the Start button and in the Search bar type dxdiag and press Enter. Then click the Save All Information button and save it to your Desktop. Open the Text file and copy and paste the info on here.

 

[GraddzCZE]

oh, my GPU is GT2

 

[trogdor796]

That's not a dedicated gpu...

Download Gpu-z and see what it says if you are not able to get info from DxDiag

 

[GraddzCZE]

So how could i play since now for 1 year battlefield 4 on ultra graphics without no lags when its not dedicated?...

 

[trogdor796]

Either you have a dedicated GPU and its not listing it, or you haven't been playing Battlefield 4 on ultra for a year. Sorry, simple as that. Integrated intel graphics simply aren't capable of running BF4 at decent frames, let alone at ultra settings.

Did you try downloading GPU-Z?

 

[GraddzCZE]

Yes, and this is what it told me.. I wouldnt lie, i need help so why should i lie?...

So, lets get right to it.. If i dont have dedicated GPU, how can i repair that? Change it or something?

 

[GraddzCZE]

like, is there even a possibility that i can play on this computer normally again?..

 

[snowctrl]

Whether or not u hav a dedicated GPU, I still think the problem is yo laptop getting too hot, and slowing itself so as not t heat further. Since this is a recent problem I wonder if whatever cooling your laptop has needs taking apart and cleaning, or whether there might b a fan failing somewhere.

A simple test - mount up laptop on a small book instead of directly on a surface and see if things improve - if they do, heat is your issue

 

[GraddzCZE]

Thanks very much snow, tried what you said, and everything is working perfectly, i have aircondition in my room, so i have it on the biggest cold to cold it up and im very happy.. Thanks!

 

[GraddzCZE]

Yup, i will try to talk to one of my close friends, who is working at the shop for repairing, and he will clean it up and look if there is something bad. Thanks again.

 

[snowctrl]

No worries, glad yo got some progress with it
