Hey everyone. I own this laptop,
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-sw...-s...Id=6464556
I'm wondering if anyone else uses one and shares their thoughts? I haven't had mine for quite a while and it seems to be failing. It could handle games at 100fps or higher until recently. Now, in games like WoW or Minecraft, I get dropped to 1-15 frames for a few seconds every few minutes. Last weekend I noticed some screen flickers and BSODs. I'm not very tech-savvy, so I'm unsure what's going on but I might be looking at a $800 lemon. I think it's probably not worth replacing the laptop, though I'm not sure. Any advice?

It really depends on the problem. I would monitor Temps while gaming to check for spikes. You can use chdisk to investigate drive issues. The event viewer could also help spot any clear problems.

Hey, I just got hwmonitor and I'm a bit confused about what high temperatures mean for the GPU or CPU. I don't want to miss anything.
