So I bought myself a 'Dell Inspiron 7720' with i7 processor what whatnot a few month ago.
It costed me little above 700Euro, and I expected to be able to run kind of heavy software on it, and also be able to play games on decent graphics.
However, this is not the case.
I am at the point where I want to throw it into a wall. I'm trying to play a game called World of Warcraft, an MMORPG which doesn't have that big requirements. However, I am between 25 fps and 2 fps whereever I am in the game, and I keep dropping FPS regardless if I play in Ultra, High, Normal, Fair or Low graphics settings. I can even hear the spotify music "crackling" due to the PC lag when I move my camera in the game (I hope you understand what I mean, I can't explain it any better than that). I check Taskmanager and Disk usage is about 5%, Memory usage about 60%. I see no issues there.
However, my Disk usage can without any problem randomly hit 100% and stay there for a good moment without me even having any software of my own running (only system applications taking up all the space).
Specs:
---------------------------------------------------
I have no idea what's causing it. I remember I was able to play games on High somewhat without any fps issues when I got it originally, but it's beyond crap.
There is no dust in the fan, I've checked it. I'm having the laptop on the table, so air can pass through easily (or whatever you now say).
I don't know what kind of information I would need to give you all to help me with my pathetic computer issue.. But just let me know what else I should post and I'll do it right away!
I've heard something about disabling the internal graphic card and instead use the NVIDIA GeForce (in my case). I have no idea if it's already set to that or not (I'm not very computer-savvy when it comes to what's inside the computer). However, I did go into the NVIDIA control panel and changed it to : 3D Settings -> Global Settings -> Preffered graphics processor: High-preformed NVIDIA processor.
This didn't help anything at all. I'm even thinking it might've made it lagg more.. I can't really tell anymore.
Thanks in advance

Q: Have you made sure drivers are up to date?
A: Yes
