I have ASUS A451LB WX077D with these specs:
Intel Core i5-4200U (1.6 Ghz up to 2.6 GHz Turbo Boost)
Memory 4GB DDR3 ( 1600 Mhz )
GeForce GT740M 2GB
HDD 750GB (5400 rpm)
I usually do gaming just fine with recent games like Dead Rising 3, The Evil Within, Watch Dogs, and AC: Black Flag which is quite demanding with medium to high settings. Suddenly 3 days ago I tried to play Dead Rising 3 and I got a very slow almost unplayable laggy game, when I checked the power plan it's already on High Performance. What's not usual when I hit alt+tab in the tray icon Intel HD Graphics appears, yet when I checked NVidia GPU Activity it is running the game. When I feel the left upper side of the keyboard it gets insanely hot.
I want to make sure that this is not a software malfunction, as I'm thinking the NVidia GPU doesn't really run instead it used Intel HD. If it is a hardware one, what really happened? And what should I do? As I've just entered my 6th month with this laptop.
These are the marks I got from GPU-Z, it is ridiculously hot and I don't know if it's valid or not:
Expect some answers soon, thanks! =B
