Hey Guys,
Having issues with my Alienware M14xR2 laptop.
Specs: Intel(R) i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz
8GB RAM
GeForce GT 650M
Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB 2.5-Inch SSD.
Ok so the problem is that it just doesn't run how it should. Even with the new SSD it can't run CS:GO on medium at a steady 60fps. I have done all the tedious things like making sure i'm using high performance mode and set applications to the nvidia card in the Nvidia Control Panel. I feel like it's a hard ware issue now. I have heating problems too, laptop goes inferno mode as soon as anything is launched even if its just spotify, word and chrome. Have a cooling tray thing but it's not making a huge difference.
I was thinking maybe repasting the CPU and GPU but it's such a job i would break my laptop 100% and want to have some kind of experienced opinion before paying someone else to do it. Thanks for reading.
