Performance while playing games problems

Original title: stuttering problems in games that also affects the office.

OK, so I've had this problem for a little while and for the life of me, I can't identify its cause. I noticed it about 2 months ago. During the game Saints Row 4, I noticed that this stuttering took place every now and then. Essentially, the game is very, very smooth, but it would start this weird stuttering suddenly and would last for a random time. Stuttering would occur at an almost exact frequency of every half second. When you turn the view quickly, this would make the scene jump forward as if there is lack of images for animation. I alt-tab out and back in the game, which seemed to fix it, but I was wrong on this issue. This was not a fire that difficulty, as it worked only sometimes. I assumed that the alt - tab solution may just be a coincidence. Also, sometimes I can play for hours and never see this stuttering, it's completely random when it happens. Initially, I thought it was the game, but as the days went on, I noticed it popping up in just about every game I play. I thought at first it was only using direct3d games, but I started noticing every game, even the 2d games.

Another problem with this is, I alt tabs on a game, pulled up to see if all processes have been hitting the cpu and noticed stuttering when I re-size the window Task Manager. So I kept stretching the sides of the window back and noticed that stuttering is present on my desktop. After being on the desktop for a while, it seems to stop, how can I return to the game and play for free, for a random period of stuttering.

I saw no process hogging the CPU on the performance tab, and the ram usage was normal. Did not notice the spikes, either, other than stuttering of weird window. I tried many things to solve this problem and many have sought a forum on stuttering, nothing helps. So far I've updated map mother drivers (including my sound chipset), rolled drivers on my video card after their update without any positive result, ran memtestx86 to rule out the possibility of problems with ram, tried different usb ports, thinking they are defective, ran programs to check the temperature of cpu and gpu (who contributed the most to 45 and 68(c) respectively), tried to launch games from a different hard disk, open my file and pulled out my video card, all dusted off and put the card in a different PCIe slot, ran malwarebytes to remove malware running in the background, disabled startup items not vital and maybe a few other things that I don't remember, right now. Long story short, I was not able to find the problem.

I've seen people say all sorts of things, like disable the speedstep and other energy saving features, but I've also seen people try to demystify these solutions. I've always had has permitted, for almost 2 years now, so if that was the cause, I guess I would have noticed it before now. The problem with not knowing what is causing it is, it makes it difficult to reproduce the problem. Most of the time, I have to wait awhile, after trying a solution given, only to discover that stuttering is still there. It is not a performance issue. I know what bad performance in PC games, and it's something totally different. My PC runs beautifully, until this stuttering starts. Game demanding resource or not, it is present in everything that once it starts, even the office. Definitely seems to be triggered by the game, however, which leads me to believe that I can just have a problem with my gpu hardware. I have another video card I could put in there and will probably be the next day or two, but it is so old I probably would not be able to tell if I get stutters or general bad performance.

As I said, a game can be run for hours, silky or it could immediately start stuttering, it is very random. If anyone has an idea of what I could try, your help would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to understand this, before I begin to buy new hardware or reinstall my OS, as I have very bad internet and download updates and games would be an absolute nightmare. Thank you very much for your time and congratulations, if you have done throughout this post.

My specs are:

Windows 7 64-bit family

Holy *, man, sacred *. I think that I found the solution, or at least I hope. It kinda makes me crazy, everything that makes me happy. He just started stuttering in a game and for some strange reason, I decided to join the back of my monitor and wiggle it's cable and stuttering instantly went away. I wonder if the solution is as simple as a cable, or maybe true DVI port on my monitor. Man I hope so. It could very well be a coincidence, but it stopped immediately after wiggling the cable. Hoping that I found it! : DDD

    While playing games, the screen turns black, but everything else works still for about a minute then the system stops. I tried to reset the settings of the BIOS, read in many forums, but nothing helps so far. The problem appreas often during the game World of Warcraft, but since yesterday, it seems less often while playing Leauge of Legends. It is unpossible to use the Qosmio to play with this problem, because I can't recognize any model in this :( I went 2 months of Vista to Windows 7 and the problem appeard only on Windows 7.

    If you need more information or something, tell me and I'll give them to you as soon as possible...

    Thank you!

    Hi byakuya.

    If the problem appears only on Windows7 there must be a problem with your installation of Windows 7. Maybe you use the old drivers or wrong or a software causes this problem.

    The more interesting point right now is your display driver. 3rd display driver part of Nvidia directly don't have protection against overheating and can cause problems. In my opinion, you must install the driver Toshiba last and official version. It should work I hope

  • Screen stops working while playing games

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook, windows 7 64 bit operating system.

    I got 2 years in July.  In recent weeks while playing games the screen stops working.  You can hear the game still in progress but nothing on the screen.  I then have to turn off then to let some time before reboting.

    I played the game for over a year, so it's not the game that is the problem.  It becomes warm, but I have always used a pc fan sub to help keep cool.

    I just tried the HP tool to automatically search for updates, but it had not recommended.

    Is it a hardware problem or software?  What can I do to stop what is happening?

    I bought an extended warranty, but I need if I can fix it or whether it should go to a technician (if nothing is physically wrong, they'll charge me).

    Hi, do not mount the jinxed shadow xpress, your laptop almost 2 years, so just get a few canned-salvation-air compressed @ any computer store or bigbox and point the noozle @ and the events of the portable breath totally clean dust od and ctut-rabbits, make sure u opens the CD drawer, which will be the cpu and the gpu to time simple down to 10 c. , huh? yahayah ~!

  • shutdown of PC while playing games

    shutdown of PC while playing games, my os: windows xp sp2

    The most common cause of shutdown of the PC under load is overheating, and which is usually caused by lack of air circulation.
    Assuming it's a desktop PC and not a laptop, remove the side of the case and look for the sheep of dust, pet hair, lint, etc. on the inside. Special attention for the vents, fans and heat sinks on the motherboard, processor and graphics card. An old toothbrush soft to loosen and a can of air spray (or a small vacuum cleaner, if you're very careful), likes to get rid of it.
    If it is a laptop, remove all the panels that are loose (as for the areas of RAM and HARD drive) and blow through it to air canned to remove any deposit.

    Can you please tell us what drivers have updated you and why? What was wrong with the old drivers?

    When you start your next portable speakers test time using preinstalled Toshiba diagnostic tool and post the result here.

    What about the temperature of the laptop. 80 c is high temperature but still not critical, and if your mobile phone is placed correctly on the desktop and the cooling fans are not blocked I think you can continue to play the games.
    Before the games close all unnecessary applications and uses laptop computer on power plan to high performance.

  • Qosmio X 300 - 14V - accidents while playing games

    Hello! I have some problems with my Toshiba Qosmio X 300 to 14V. While I play games installed on the computer "crushes". The screen goes black and the speakers start droning.
    I noticed that if I reinstall windows, driverers and directX it won't happen for a while. I should also mention that this does not happen with ALL games. He especially happenst to games that require more performance of the computer. games like Just Cause 2, Neef For Speed Hot Pursuit, Fallout New Vegas. In one case, he joined a pretty old game, shadows on the surviving ground.

    If anyone can find all reasonable explanation please help me. Thanks in advance.

    P.S. There are about 4-5 months my HARD drive crashed, so I bought a new one and installed win 7. At that time, I was working with win Vista Edition home premium x 32 with drivers that were included in the recovery package. Before the new HARD drive, I had no problem with the computer. Apart from some overwhelming sometimes because of ovearheating because the ventilation channels were filled with dust.

    Hi donrumata_1,

    Maybe the laptop goes down cause overheating? Have you ever tried to clean up your laptop with a jet of compressed air?

    This can blow the dust from the cooling fans and only takes a few minutes. In addition it s not necessary to disassemble the laptop so it s very easy and not complicated.
    => [How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD7A01ZZ000AR01.htm]

    From my own experience I can say s very useful and I do every 3 months. If the laptop is much cooler and quieter because the fan doesn't run so often more.

  • Graphics late while playing games

    original title: problem of serious games

    I play a few games online, and for several months now, I was barely able to run them. I get extreme lag, so that the graphics will move, while the sound plays fine. I guess just maybe it was a problem with my video card or something, except that sometimes, one minute at a time, sometimes more and sometimes less, the game starts suddenly works perfectly well. This suggests that my computer is ABLE to run the games, but is not just most of the time, and I can't understand why. I did research more that I have to find a solution to this problem, but I can't even find someone else who suffer. Reducing the graphics quality ingame does not help.

    For reference, I'm on a computer HP Pavilion p6320 with 8 GB of ram and a NVIDIA GeForce 9100 integrated graphics. I have more than 600 GB of free space on the computer, so I do not know is not the problem. I have updated all drivers for my graphics card and DirectX, as well. I am also sure that it is not my internet connection, because I downloaded a reference software for a game that is not connected to the internet during the race, and he did exactly the same thing.

    I would also like to point out that I have antivirus and anti-spyware software, and I don't get lag on the computer outside of the game.

  • Qosmio X 770-system of cooling and temperature while playing games

    I would buy this laptop but a don't know anything about the cooling system. Is it good or bad?
    I would like to know the temperatures in normal mode and playing games.

    Thanks for the replies

    Hey,.

    Why the cooling system should be bad? I mean that this laptop is all new and latest Qosmio X model on the market. It has material more recent and powerful that you can buy for money at the moment. In addition he s pretested by Toshiba, if the cooling system is good enough for this great piece of equipment. The Toshiba case install another system of cooling or not release it ;)

    I read a few tests on the Internet and it has a good ratings. Very high performance and good temperatures because he has a big case and cooling system.

    Why the temperatures are so important?
    Fact is that you always have higher temperatures while gaming because every piece of hardware work with high or maximum performance. This causes a lot of heat for the laptop will be hotter than the train to surf the Internet.

    If I had enough money, I would buy this laptop. I like to play games, so the laptop is perfect and it comes with screen FullHD :)

  • Shutdown A200 satellite while playing games

    I have a satellite A200, that is around the age of 6 months.
    Yesterday while playing a game, it's just instantly shutdown.
    He did a couple of times now. The upper left side is very hot as below. Thinking that it is an overheating problem?

    Checked the CPU usage while playing and does not seem to be unusually high.
    Is used on the desktop with appropriate around her space
    Laptop of not old but works all day, but is stopped from one day to the next. Surely the heaksink would not be already clogged?
    Runs with no battery, just on the sector to extend battery life when using at home.

    Only happens while the game paying, also monitor is set to increase the size of the screen.
    Still under warranty but don't really want to have taken stuff back because I moved to remote outback and am not near a large city, as well as if they test everything by running do not game, they'll probably just say it's very good.

    Will try and blow up the heatsink without taking the case anyway to see if that helps. Any other ideas?

    Thank you

    I agree with Akuma.
    It s certainly one overheating and cela occurs because the internal temperature is too high. All internal devices such as CPU, GPU, are running with a yield maximum all in game and produce high heat dissipation. This increases the temperature and leads to overheating.
    I think your work cooling of modules with a maximum yield don t because they are blocked.
    Please check if the dust and debris affect the cooling fans and if necessary use the jet of compressed air to clean these fans.

    I think this should help to prevent the notebook from overheating more specific questions.
