Hello. I have a new (1 month old) Alienware 17R3 and had been playing games with no problem. I was able to run Battlefront on High (uninstalled now cause I returned it), and was playing Counter Strike and Insurgency with no problem. I transfered my games from my SSD to HDD because of space issues and have been noticing that on both games that I play most at the moment, Counter Strike and Insurgency, I get small, less than half a second long, constant fps drops or minifreezes. This happens a little more often on Insurgency (bigger maps) than on CSGO. I transfered insurgency back to SSD and played a match on it, played smooth with no problem. Transfered back to HDD and the drops came back. These are very annoying because it sometimes happens during firefights or certain situations that make me lose. Does anyone know what could the problem be and how to fix it? I must store my games on the HDD, since it has 1Tb while my SSD, where my OS is, is only 128Gb. I have installed all drivers from the dell support site, and have tried forcing an application work with the geforce graphics cards instead with the integrated intel one throught the nvidia control panel but I started the game and it didn't work either. I'm really dissapointed at the moment, I would thank you so so much if I anyone knew what could be wrong. Heres a link to my laptop so you can see its specs:
