Hey good day everyone, i hope someone can help me,though it's quite frustanting that nobody helps me when im in need, even when i try to help everybody with their problems jeje, well i have this problem, my intel hd 3000 have a variable performance, going from 30 fps to 5 fps in the same part of the game, it just goes up and down, like in a racing game, in the same part, almost randomly , sometimes it just run smoothly 30 fps and just some minute later runs a 5 fps, later it , like a minute after it goes up again to 30 and so on, know its a poor graphics card, but , if it can run it a 30, that means it can be working that speed! then why it goes down? maybe it is some bios problem but i cant find the newest version (even i cant give more than 32 MB of dedicated video! ) i dont know what to do, i have a dell N4110 with an intel i5 2410m proccesor , 6 gb ram, and win 8 64 bit, with the dell a12 bios.
With the bios agent software it says me my bios and videobios have more than 2 years outdated, but the thing dont tell me the name of the new bios to download, so i dont knowwhat to do, help me pleaseeeeee!!
 
Solution
Usually it's a temp issue with laptops. Use hwmonitor. You can also check to make sure it's not throttling with gpuz. Update your drivers if you haven't.

thank you for answering this fast =) and, well i do have updated all my drivers but this still happen. i have tought about the temp, is there a way to improve the coolness in a laptop? beside a fan base? aybe it is just to dirty. another thing that can be , is that i just can't set up the dedicated video memory in bios, in properties it's say i have just 32 MB dedicated, but there is so much Dell AXX BIOS that i dont know wich one to choose, and, well you know, i dont want a paperweight! thank you again..
