Hi,

So, I have an Asus N76VZ (16GB Ram, Nvidia GeForce GT650M, I7 3630QM, Windows 8.1) that had several heat issues, I've send it to asus for a repair but didn't got any luck. After the warranty expired I gave it to a friend who has years of experiment in cleaning pc's and fixing them, he has everything expect 1 thing, he doesn't understand anything about games.
After he cleaned my pc, note that he only cleaned and change some sponges he didn't touched anything else, the heat issue disappeared but, all the games dropped the fps. Since now I only play CS:GO I can say that I played with around 100fps and now I got dropped to 40/50fps and 10 near a smoke. And the fps sometimes goes crazy and keeps going from 40/50fps to 100fps in 1 sec and then goes back to 40/50fps for like 5 secs and it goes on and on..

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/9857881 this is the test I made with the 3DMark Demo on steam. I also downloaded a program called FurMark, here's the result, and I noticed that the memory was jumping from 405mhz to 900mhz.

Already tried to change the settings on nvidia control panel, all drivers up to date and nothing. Searched around and got nothing that could do the trick..

Someone knows anything about this mystery?

There is a chance that you are not running games with the graphics card. Right click the game you want to run, and select "use with graphics processor", choose the one you want to use.

Try a disk defragmentation, scan your PC for viruses while in safe mode with networking, or run a program like ccleaner to fix registry issues, and clean your temporary internet folder.

Try these and let me know if it helps or not

Hi Reyaz

I did the disk defragmentation, ran the ccleaner, cleaned the temporary folder, ran windows defender and malwarebytes while in safe mode with internet. Still with the same problem

Everything is cleaned up (thermal, dust on heat sink and fan) and the pc doesn't have that heat issue anymore, just doesn't work with "heavy graphics" anymore, after the cleaning.

It sounds to me that it is possibly a power issue. Plug your laptop's charger in and change the power options to "High Performance"

(I have a ASUS laptop that has slow fps, until the power options activate with my charger plugged in, the fps returns to normal)

It's always at "Power4g High Performance" (I think that's the name), changed to "High Performance but it was the same thing..
I always play with the charger on and the battery off. Well, I almost use it as a "home pc" (don't know how you call it, the tower pc's), maybe is the charger that f**ed up in the transportation? Think I'll try and get a new one to see
