Help? Someone who knows lot about PC's
Okay.

Im having this little problem.

For some reason i am having weird lag spikes in games.
Some time ago everything went well but then it started.

Lagspikes comes like every 2 minutes when they start and last for about 10 seconds.

It drops my fps to about 15-5 no matter how game normally runs.

Sometimes it don't happen but like after one match of BF 3, they start on next match.

Just now i played Far cry 3 and i played about 10 min and then lagspikes started.

This has happened in multiple games like Farcry 3, battlefield 3, GTA IV etc.

It would be nice if someone could help.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks Solax.

And thanks Boing. Will see what to do.

I am using a thing called gamebooster for some games that requires a little bit more performance and that should shut down waste programs and stuff.

And well i think i've should say my computer specs.

AMD Phenom II X4 N950

ATI mobility radeon HD 5650.

And 8GB DDR 3 RAM.

And i updated my drivers now.
I haven't updated those in a while. D:

I have thought that might be the problem.

ANyway. Here's a little pic.

Allways when the lag comes GPU usage drops to about 50%-60% and normally it is on 99%.

And at the same GPU heats up more when lag comes.
Not sure if that pic matters anything.

I think that i have to open this laptop.

Ok. I already tried running game without gamebooster but it still gave lag spikes.

It didn't work with older drivers and doesn't work with new.

About fan speed, afterburner can't check those. Its allways on 30% even i clearly hear
fans getting faster.

And normally when i have played games temperature has stayed below 80.
So i am pretty sure that i just got some shit inside.

Still i realized that i can't open this because this might be "Sealed" with some sticker and
when i open seal brokes and no more warranty.

I will try just vacuuming fan spots tomorrow.

Actually this thing is kinda fixed now. I downloaded drives with AMD's auto detection program and it showed right things but new drivers didn't work.

Now i donwloaded them manually and boom...

Everything works fine. No more lags and Pc stays on about 75c when with old drives it was about 90...

So. This thing is solved. Thanks for help everyone.
