    Gpu usage drops.


    My laptop has been having random gpu usage drops from 99% to 50% to 60% causing fps drops and sometimes to 0% causing the game to freeze for a second. Sometimes it hangs hangs at 70%-80% for a few minutes. If the cpu isnt a bottleneck isn't the gpu supposed to be pegged at 100%. But the cpu usage is around 40-60%. It doesn't seem like a overheating issue because the temps are stable. This issue didn't used to happen but it started a month ago and it's been getting worse. Re-installing drivers didn't help. Any ideas

    You haven't mentioned which game you are playing. Some games are CPU intensive.

Ok, I am literally KILLING myself over this! I installed Windows 7 64Bit over XP around a month ago and it was so good that I recommended it to my brother who was previously on XP too. We got him a copy of the 32bit version as he has only 2gb of memory, and he installed it on his machine....
