[SOLVED] PC starts lagging after playing for 15-30 minutes

[TheAnimal2224]

PC starts lagging horribly after playing for 15-30 minutes on some games EX: Forza Horizon 5, GTA V.

How I determined the PC was lagging:

• Right-Clicking to refresh desktop takes 4-5 seconds for applications to re-appear
• Start Menu opens in 10 seconds
• Booting up applications is slow
• All games I play in the lag period get like 10 fps

I've tried restarting my pc when it happens, it doesn't go away. Waiting for 40-50 minutes then restarting gets it to go away.

Also I'm sure it's not a temperature problem, all my temperatures are perfectly fine (Average for this laptop) while playing games.
Games are stored on a Samsung SSD 860 EVO 2TB
Windows is stored on a seperate SSD
Why is this and how can I fix this issue?

This is my current LAPTOP.

run a report and post the results

most times it boils down to a driver mismatch

edit
by the way, i LOVE that little laptop. wow very nice.

It's a laptop, with limited cooling. They're also optimized to conserve battery life and not overload what are usually limited capacity power units in order to keep carry weight down.

Typical performance profile is to run at full performance for a limited period of time then throttle back as it heats up as not doing it will shorten life of components.

This issue never happens with my friends.

They also own laptops with a GPU like mine from Asus, Dell, ETC..

EDIT: I also keep my laptop on power the whole time on high performance while stuck to my power strip.

LatencyMon wont run on my PC for some reason.
I keep trying to run it but it wont open.

EDIT: It worked, I'm analyzing now

your windows is hosed

make a new bootable usb from Microsoft Media Creation Tool. nuke the windows SSD and clean install windows. Then install your graphics and chipset drivers.

if that app don't run something is seriously wrong with your windows config

whenever i get a new laptop i boot to my usb and nuke the drives, then clean install, i DETEST all the crap they add to a system and their crap software

Analysis Results:
_
CONCLUSION
_
Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. At least one detected problem appears to be network related. In case you are using a WLAN adapter, try disabling it to get better results. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates.
LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for 0:01:05 (h🇲🇲ss) on all processors.

_
MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES
_
The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to that event.

Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 2481.70
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 28.433087

Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 2472.40
Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 12.598831


_
REPORTED ISRs
_
Interrupt service routines are routines installed by the OS and device drivers that execute in response to a hardware interrupt signal.

Highest ISR routine execution time (µs): 65.50
Driver with highest ISR routine execution time: Wdf01000.sys - Kernel Mode Driver Framework Runtime, Microsoft Corporation

Highest reported total ISR routine time (%): 0.001557
Driver with highest ISR total time: Wdf01000.sys - Kernel Mode Driver Framework Runtime, Microsoft Corporation

Total time spent in ISRs (%) 0.001557

ISR count (execution time <250 µs): 3498

ISR count (execution time 1000-2000 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time 2000-4000 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time >=4000 µs): 0


_
REPORTED DPCs
_
DPC routines are part of the interrupt servicing dispatch mechanism and disable the possibility for a process to utilize the CPU while it is interrupted until the DPC has finished execution.

Highest DPC routine execution time (µs): 1452.433642
Driver with highest DPC routine execution time: nvlddmkm.sys - NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 496.49 , NVIDIA Corporation

DPC count (execution time 500-10000 µs): 185
DPC count (execution time 1000-2000 µs): 10
DPC count (execution time 2000-4000 µs): 0
DPC count (execution time >=4000 µs): 0


_
REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS
_
Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution.

NOTE: some processes were hit by hard pagefaults. If these were programs producing audio, they are likely to interrupt the audio stream resulting in dropouts, clicks and pops. Check the Processes tab to see which programs were hit.

Process with highest pagefault count: hxtsr.exe

Total number of hard pagefaults 3223
Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 553
Number of processes hit: 38

get DDU

boot to safe mode and run DDU to remove ALL your nvidia graphics drivers. then reboot, navigate to NVIDIA's site and get their tool to determine what you need. Install that. You should be good to gohttps://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/

Issues after a time smacks of a temperature problem.
I see many complaints about gaming laptops not performing well.
Usually gaming while plugged in.
One common cause is thermal throttling.
Laptop coolers must, of necessity be small and light.
The coolers are also relatively underpowered.
If you run an app such as HWMonitor or HWinfo, you will get the current, minimum, and maximum cpu temperatures.
For intel processors, if you see a max of 100c. it means you have throttled.
The cpu will lower it's multiplier and power draw to protect itself
until the situation reverses.
At a lower multiplier, your cpu usage may well be at 100%
What can you do?
First, see that your cooler airways are clear and that the cooler fan is spinning.

It is counter-intuitive, but, try changing the windows power profile advanced functions to a max of 90% instead of the default of 100%
You may not notice the reduced cpu performance.

I also note that there seems to be some number of hard page faults indicating a lack of ram.
If you are multitasking, close any other apps such as chrome.

did both of these, nothing helped.

on forza it goes from 75 smooth frames, suddenly 30mins later it drops instantly to 25 and sticks to 25 stable 25, and when i play it for 30 more mins and close the game my has lag and is very slow to respond
