My laptop keeps having problems with a stuttering glitch
Hi I've got a small problem that's really annoying me with my laptop. The same thing happened to my last one too. š I own an ASUS TUF F15 FX507ZR gaming laptop. Here are its specs: https://www.scan.co.uk/products/156...dd...win11-home Things seem to stutter sometimes. This happens when I watch videos on YouTube or listen to music on Spotify, but it's not like that with the browser player. I haven't figured out what it is yet for the apps either. And I've seen this while playing a game. That game was just Sonic Mania, so it isn't very demanding. I looked at Event Viewer and saw some warnings and errors, but I'm not sure what they are or if that's causing the issue. I attached those to the post though I don't know what is useful here. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/qjdr6bnd1...tmbtan59k3 Dropbox - Error - Simplify your life www.dropbox.com Let me know if the links work or if they are actually the right files. Thanks
Okay, I came across this forum thread that mentioned about DPC latency, so the tool linked in there might be useful to run the next time Iām on my laptop. Small micro-second spike/stutter every second, regardless of activity Hi, I have an UX303LB Asus Zenbook. Regardless of what I do (browsing web/playing games/watching series) it has a tiny micro-second spike, once every second. See video of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X046nVbGag And another when i scroll faster (might be more noticable)... forums.tomsguide.com
That link seems broken. It might be TPC, or maybe TCP. I don't know where exactly this speed test tool lives.
Hey there! First things first: most of these posters might not show up all day or every hour to answer your questions. That said, this is one of the best communities for that. Everyone volunteers their time to help forum users. So don't worry. We will get back to you, even if it takes a day, two days, or an hour or two. You got a pretty modern gaming laptop. It's good almost like all gaming laptops are. The heat problem is the whole thing. With such a small box that holds the thermals, it's hard to keep both the graphics and processor cool. The CPU can run up to 95 degrees Celsius and it's designed for that. The GPU temps will usually be about 70-80 degrees Celsius or so. Often with laptops, the cooling system isn't strong enough for the hardware and can cause throttling. The CPU or GPU slows down to stop getting too hot. This means you can get stuttering as the chips switch to lower frequencies to let them cool down. There are some things you can try. Get a laptop cooling pad which can shave off one or two degrees of heat generally. Consider opening up the laptop and clearing out any dust that has built up. While doing this, you can also consider changing the thermal pastes since generic stuff from most laptops isn't good enough for the job. Warning though: This could void your warranty. Limit how much power the CPU can use and boost frequencies instead. This will reduce heat so the chips won't be as stressed. Performance will suffer but it might bring a smoother experience without stuttering. So it's worth messing around with this!
Thanks. After I load the Armoury Crate app to see how hot things are, I will send you the numbers. Right now not much is happening, just a few tabs in Firefox open on my side. But I've seen some new errors or warnings pop up in the Event Viewer...
Hey, Armoury Crate? You should probably get rid of that right now. (Taking a lot of effort to remove it later is hard.) Armoury Crate acts like many other maker software/apps/hardware tools. Unfortunately, it's too invasive and creates way more trouble than the good stuff it can do. I'd take it off now and start testing again. Just use HWInfo to check your system instead. It works much better.
Yeah, that sounds right. To tell the truth, I'm not even certain this will help me understand how hot things are. Right now I can't see anything related to temperature anyway. Aside from the BIOS, which is built-in hardware stuff, what other app do you use for overclocking your graphics card and processor? Armoury Crate looks pretty fun with tons of options to tweak performance and control fan speeds.
I found some new log files on Dropbox for you to check. They might be connected, but I'm not exactly sure yet. Check the link here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/haimy1bce6mvww....evtx?dl=0
So, how do I check if there are problems with HWInfo? I haven't used that tool very often just to see what my computer's parts are like.
