I'm a frequent League of Legends player and play on an Asus N75-sf laptop which generally can run the game extremely well.
About a month ago, I started noticing that the computer would get very hot while playing the game, so I downloaded the Nvidia system monitor program to check my temperatures while gaming. When the temperatures peaked, my cpu would hit 80-82 C, which is obviously very high.
I played like this for a while, until my computer blue screened a few times, which scared me since I didnt want to damage any of the components. So I decided to take it to a store to have the thermal paste replaced, fan cleaned, and the rest of the thermal system checked. The guy also suggested that I raise the back of the laptop a little to allow proper air flow as the bottom of the laptop doesnt have many vents.
BEFORE I took my laptop to the store, I was able to consistently get 90-110 FPS while running League of Legends on medium - high graphics.
After the maintenance was done, my computer no longer goes above 50-60 C while gaming (Which is great!), but I now have serious FPS issues. It all seems rather weird, too.
Whenever i first load the game, I usually get to about 200 FPS. After 10-20 seconds, however, my FPS drop to the 70-90 range, and after about a minute or so, my FPS will continue to drop to about 30-50. During stages of the game where there is a lot happening, I usually get below 20 FPS, which makes the game completely unplayable considering I'm used to 100 FPS.
Another thing I noticed is that my fan kicks in rather loudly 20-30 secs into the game, and THAT is the specific moment when my frames just plummet. This even happens while running the game at the lowest possible settings.
I have an Nvidia GT 555M graphics card and an Intel (R) HD Graphics 3000. I have the High performance power plan on with my processor running set to 100% for both min and max values.
At this point I don't know what to do because, that I know of, nothing in my computer has changed other than the fact that it no longer overheats.
I have been forced to play against bots for the last 5 days simply because I'm not willing to ruin 9 other people's time because of my FPS issues.
Thanks in advance for any help!
