    High CPU usage, low fps, high latency.


    Since Jan-Feb of this year I have encountered the following issue while trying to play games on my laptop.

    Abnormally High CPU Usage
    Extremely low FPS - After 5-20 Mins of play.
    Extremely High latency to servers - from 300 - 900 after 5 - 20 mins of play.

    The thing is all of these started 1 year after I been using this laptop, after a full year of everything running flawlessly all these issues kicked in after I performed a clean install in Jan., I even performed one in Feb. and one 3 weeks ago, since someone suggested this could fix my issue and I still face the same problem.

    I would kindly take any suggestions since I am so desperate that I am considering trowing this device out the window.

    Here are my specs:

    OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
    Version 6.1.7600 Build 7600
    System Manufacturer Dell Inc.
    System Model Studio 1558
    Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 520 @ 2.40GHz, 2400 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
    Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 4.00 GB
    Name ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5400 Series
    Adapter Description ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5400 Series
    Adapter RAM 1.00 GB (1,073,741,824 bytes)

    All of your symptoms could be a driver issue. Please download this free latency checker and run it to see if it is.

    Alright so I gave this a try and played arou disabling different devices in the computer, at times it does seem that it has helped a little bit with ts but I cant be 100% onn it since issues still persist.

    Any other suggestions?

    Alright so I've known of this, but still gave it a try and searched a lot around the net this week, and did further testing on it, see if could get somewhere.

    In a moment of frustration i started killing off services, and I got to one that did eliminate any issue, the only problem is that the laptop shut it self down after a few minutes and now cant remember what service or process I killed. Any other suggestions?

    System restore... or you could go to someplace like Black Viper's and look at his list to see what the defaults should be. Black Viper’s Windows 7 Service Configurations | Black Viper's Website | www.blackviper.com

    System Restore is not a working option since a clean install of windows doesnt fix the issue.

    I checked the list for the W7 services, and still nothing, I've gathered some info from different sources that it could be a Audio Issue but I've tried available fixes and ideas and still nothing.

    Have you tried disabling your Antivirus and/or Firewall when gaming?

    Worth a shot IMO.
