Laptop: Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7-592G
Processor: i7-6700HQ
RAM: 8GB - DDR4
Graphics card: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 960M
OS: Windows 10
128GB SSD + 1TB HDD
I bought this laptop around two months ago but in the past week the laptop has been intermittently lagging a lot. This does not just affects the games i play but also when using the internet (youtube,google and etc) the lag can occur anytime, immediately when starting the laptop or even after 4 hours of witcher 3 gameplay. Then there's also times when completely nothing is wrong with the laptop and i can run the witcher 3 on ultra settings 8 hours straight. I initially thought that it could've been some background program running but as i open the task manager i only find the witcher 3 running and nothing else. The frame rate of the game drops from 60 fps to like 3 fps which is completely unplayable. I couldn't even exit the game!
I've tried restarting but it doesn't work and i usually just shut down the computer and play at a later timing. This is really getting on my nerves as i can't even load youtube videos even with really strong wifi. My guess is that it's hardware as the witcher 3 is single player but i'm not tech-savvy at all so i wouldn't know.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
