Suddenly Getting Very Bad FPS In ALL Of My Games?
Hi there,
First of all, I know my laptop isn't a "gaming computer" heck, I know it is a very bad computer, it has bad CPU and very bad GPU, not to mention low ram. But it's all I have, and it can run a lot of games, on the lowest settings, depending on what game it is, and if it has crappy enough graphics.
I just tried playing one of my games yesterday, and I noticed it's FPS dropping from 2-10 frames per second, and staying there. I find this unbearable, and I cannot play with this frame rate. I tried some of my other games, I still got that same problem. I even tried Mount & Blade: Warband, which came out in the 2000's. Normally Mount & Blade can run with 100+ frames on my crappy laptop, but today It was only giving me 3-7 frames.
This is really weird and I don't know what to do. I have run CCleaner, and I emptied out the %temp% folder/s. I have altered my background running and startup programs/processes. I have tried updating my drivers with IOBit's 'Driver Booster 2' but nothing has changed or improved it.
Can you guys help me? I think my specs will be hooked up to my account, since I synced it before. Thanks!
**EDIT**
I should also mention, that I have been having problems with playing video's on youtube, and facebook. I have even had major problems with playing video files on my computer, I am getting a lot of lagging, stuttering and distortion. I look at my Task Manager and the ram is nearly all being used at all times, but that can be expected since I only have 4gb of ram in my laptop. The CPU on another hand, is at 80%-100% and I think that's why my computer Is being laggy etc. Still, anything I can do to fix this??
