Awhile back I had posted a thread about my graphic issues with my hp envy 14. The problem I was encountering had to do with drops in my framerate after 10 or 20 minutes playing games. Now, up and to this point I never had any problems running games, matter of fact most games ran extremely well on this laptop. Then I updated my graphic drivers and ever since then I have had nothing but issues. (To date I have all the latest updates and drivers for my computer). I was able to live with the issues of fps drops since they were not to bad but recently it has become worse making game playing unbearable.
No matter what game I play with only 2 exceptions, I have major fps drops and lots of lag even with the settings turned way way down. This is very frustrating knowing that I was able to play high end games with no problems before. I installed HWinfo, msi afterburner and cpu-z to monitor everything when I was gaming per advice received from my older posts. I have been searching the internet it seems like forever to find a solution to this problem without having to do a factory reset. Basically when I start playing a game lets say Deadspace 3, I'll have normal frame rates 30-40, then when I start to run or pan the camera to look sharpley my fps drop to single digits. I stop and wait the system catches up fps increase to normal and I can continue. This is the cycle of hell that happens over and over throughout the course of the game. I have tried so many different things, I have cleaned out my registry of junk, uninstalled then reinstalled my graphics driver numerous times even using the ati removal tool to make sure it was a brand new install. I have tried overclocking my gpu, changing settings in my CCC, I installed game booster so I could turn off non-essential applications, when I am gaming, still no help. I thought maybe it could be temperature but I never go over 80'C. I have a hard drive of 640GB that at the moment has 150GB of free space, so it can't be enough space. I even upgraded my ram from 4GB to 8GB in hopes of fixing the problem but again NO JOY.
If anybody and I mean anybody has any suggestions that might help please let me know. I have come to a point where I am just lost with this whole thing.
