I'm wondering why my fps is low. I left my computer running when I went to work with the Game running. I remembered leaving my laptop on Balenced mode to prevent overheat.
I come back from work and noticed everything was just as I left it. I then reboot my laptop and start up my game again and my FPS is cut in half if not, lower. The maximum FPS I get in the game, Vindictus, is 60fps. now its down to 16-20 and even lower.
What I did was clean the heat sink and fans from any debris or dust that might be in it. Rebooted my laptop, problem still persist. However I did noticed the thermal paste on the heatsink was cracked and dried up. (Might need to reapply new paste??)
Second solution I tried doing a roll back on my Graphic driver. Then installed it again. And the problem is still there. I'm at a lost...
My Computer spec are
AlienWare Mx15:
Intel Core i7 CPU Q740 @1.73GHz
4.00GB (RAM)
Graphics Card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850
