M11X R2 Issue Laggy/choppy VIDEO

Hi I've owned the m11x r2 for half a year now. It worked Flawlessly the first months but then suddenly it started to become very laggy in games and such. Even while browsing the internet it sometimes lags but not as much as in games (well it's easier to spot in games of course). The odd thing is that I've noticed that it lags in all games but some games it doesn't lag as much. I've done a reinstall of win7 and it did not help. Then I've tried god knows how many different drivers of the nvidia grapichs card. And I've checked the forums on the internet and I haven't found any solution to this problem.

Though I might have an idea on what could be causing it. I've noticed that in speedfan (i have a cooling pad) core 1 and core 0 (as they are called) have good temperatures. Around 30-35 degrees. But then there is GPU that seems to be overheating all the time (about 50+ degrees.) Could that be the cause of the lag?

Anyways I also filmed it and uploaded a video to youtube about it. Where im showing Minecraft and Fallout 3 : New Vegas. Oddly the game that seems to be the least demanding in grapchics of those two ( Which i think is Minecraft) is the most laggy, its unplayable for me. Don't know if the video shows how much it lags but its unbearable. While in Fallout 3 : New Vegas it only lags every once in a while but not as much. It's playable but annoying.

Excuse me for my english but i think its understandable
Thanks in Advance, Hazarde!

Hey amigo. From what I've seen from your youtube video, I'd say that the problem is definitely with your graphics driver. The stuttering and such is probably linked with some sort of corrupted driver.

You may want to use an application called "DriverSweeper" which can remove all traces of a driver. If you do use this, use it in safe mode. I've dropboxed the install file here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7009196/Applications/DriverSweeper_2.1.0-[Guru3D.com].exe (Right-click, save as)

What you're going to want to do, is do a little experiment... After you've uninstalled both your Intel Graphics Accelerator and your nVidia drivers. Then in Safe Mode, and reinstall both drivers:

Go to Intel® Driver Update Utility and run the auto-detect utility to get the latest Intel Graphics Accelerator drivers for your M11x. (You may have to use Internet Explorer, as I tried this a couple times with Chrome and it glitched up a bit)

Then go to nVidia and get the latest drivers for your GeForce GT 335M laptop. NVIDIA DRIVERS 275.33 WHQL

After you've installed both (Be sure to install the Intel drivers first), reboot your system into normal mode, and give your games a shot.

If you still get stuttering, then it could be something more serious. For now, you just want to eliminate the possibility that it's the graphics drivers.

Let me know if you need any further explanation, I've had problems like this and its a real pain in the .

 

Thanks for such a quick reply! I'll check into this immediately!

 

I followed your instructions and it helped it a little but it didnt go away completely. The stuttering is still there What could cause this? Hardware issue or something?
