Laptop is acting weird lately and shaking around?
Laptop is acting weird lately and shaking around?
MSI GT76 with 10700k, 32gb ram, 2080 super, 1tb ssd in raid 0 running windows 10. Suddenly my game starts stuttering randomly right now. Before this it had never broken down like this. In more demanding games like gta 5, the screen freezes and stutters for about 5 seconds then goes back on. It happens every 15 minutes or so. I turned down the cpu and gpu clocks to their lowest settings from msi dragon center but the problem keeps coming up after 20 minutes of playing. The temps are always around mid-80s or 90s max even though the paste was recently changed as it came from warranty a month ago. It broke in service because my mobo changed, and now they sent me back the laptop with speakers all messed up and humming, plus no rgb stripes so no more pretty lights. Could the two m.2 ssds in raid 0 be messing with things? They are about 70% full atm. I heard it is bad to combine two hard drives together? These are 512gb + 512gb that make a 1tb c disk. Idk the brands but theyre the original parts. What should i do? This is making my 3k laptop useless because the games just stop working mid-game and ruin the session. Should I take it back to warranty? I feel like they usually ignore or can't detect gaming stutter issues mostly? Or should I give it a go? Im getting desperate 🙁
Hey there, so it looks like your laptop is slowing down. Both the processor and maybe the graphics card are involved. What temperatures do they get on their own? Is the CPU hitting 90 to 95 degrees Celsius? Even if just 85c isn't that bad, most laptop makers set a low limit for when they turn things off just in case. They often drop below normal around 85-90c sometimes even higher up to 95c. If your CPU ever gets close to that temperature, it will slow itself down to cool itself down a bit. This slowing down causes lag or stuttering. Run the HWInfo tool and Cinebench R23 at the same time. The HWInfo tool shows you how hot the CPU gets. Most gaming laptops have heat problems sometimes because they aren't cleaned enough, or maybe it's in an area with bad airflow. The thermal paste can also wear off over time and isn't always great to start with. Replacing the paste with a random paste might still be causing the issue. It could also be how the paste was put on originally. It sounds like the service guys sent your laptop back when it wasn't even in good condition to begin with. I would have major problems about that. If there is still warranty coverage, then maybe that's the solution, but given that this isn't a deal-breaker for you, either fix it yourself or take it to a trusted store where they can give it a good clean, repaste, and test it out properly.
