Hello,
I purchased a samsung laptop in end of June this month for about 37k INR, its a medicore Gaming laptop i was quite happy with, it ran bf3 on mid and skyrim on high and high end games like these quite easily, however from past 2 days I've been experiencing major FPS lag, even old games like Command and Conquer 3 tiberium warfare lags like hell, my gpu is amd radeon hd 7520g +7670m dual graphics what i believe is that 7670m is supposed to be a high performance GPU
(for this rig) but there are things which doesn't fit right
The temp of 7670m is 37 degrees which is not fitting at all, because i am running everything on high performance

my overall specs:
ram : 4 GB GDDR3 3.6 gb usable
OS: Windows 8 - 64 bit
GPU: amd radeon hd 7520g +7670m dual graphics
processor: AMD A6-4400M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 2.70GHz (2 cores)


The problem in short is that, with these specs i used to run skyrim on high (auto detection) with easy 26+ playable FPS, now i only get like 5-10, even worse with CnC3 where i used to get 30/30 fps on high settings now i get like 3-8 fps on low

I' am thinking that the laptop has switched to power saving GPU but I am unable to find a way to permarently change it to high performance, 1 day before this problem occured, my graphic card crashed and recovered about 2 times as far as i remember, with coolfan i've been careful and monitoring my laptop temperature so far and none of the Gpus/ram/HDD has gone above 60 degrees either

P.S I have tried restoring factory defaults too! and i don't really understand the profile system btw my gpu configurable graphics is dynamic not fixed!

LOL XD i am totally a n00b, i spent 3 days looking for fixes on internet and on AMD website but found nothing, later i found out that i had set my fan on silent' mode XD
If anyone is using samsung and have the save problem, just check the general settings for 'silent mode off'
