MSI Gaming laptop running slow

[NovaTronMC]

Few days ago i got myself an MSI gaming laptop which has really good specs such as a GTX 970M, an Intel Core i7 6700HQ and 16 gigs or ddr4 ram.

So i installed drivers and all but the gaming side lags a lot, for example, im playing GMOD on like 30 fps... Also GTA V and csgo on poor fps. I already checked that im running the gtx 970M and not the integrated graphics but it gets worse and worse. Please help me!

Running off the battery itself, or along with AC power?

Accidentally pressed as solution, but please help me. Even when it is chargeing or not it runs slow.

Ok, has it ever worked right since you got it? Did you get the laptop new, or used from somebody? Any signs of overheating?

Not really, it always runned this bad, im really worried. I got it factory new. And nope, its not overheating.

Since it's a brand new unit, contact MSI tech support so you can troubleshoot it with one of their techs. If they can't figure it out, they will start troubleshooting hardware.

Let us know.

I just realised, when my laptop is plugged in it starts to lag, but when it is running on battery it doesn't lag at all!
I have searched about this and it says info about changing power management but i dont know how to do this.

It's in your control panel settings.

Control Panel --> Power Settings --> make sure everything is set to performance.

It is already set on high performance
I dont know why it still happens.

On most MSI (if not all) there is a dedicated button near the power button that will open up the System Control Manager.

If not, in your tray there should be an "SCM" icon you can bring up.

Try switching the 'eco' mode off, and to 'Gaming'. That should being out all the horsepower to play whatever game you're looking to run!

Are you on Windows 10? Because if you are, it might be because of the Anniversary Update.
