Hi, I tried to play Dead Island Riptide since it looks fun and my laptop should be able to run it med-max. It first runs smooth then after around 8 seconds it starts lagging. Same thing with Far Cry 3

I have GTX 640m LE, i5 3210, 4gb ram.

This is a newly formatted laptop. I also played Grand Chase history and I was lagging like hell even though that game is old. I fixed it by changing the D3D9.dll on my syswow64. Now I run it on max fps with max settings.

I'm sure it's not virus or anything. Updated my GPU. Laptop not hot. Can anyone pls suggest me a fix?

1. Use DDU to clean drivers and reinstall the newest nvidia driver.(If it doesnt fix go to 2.)
2. Reinstall new operating sistem.

Kagamin mentioned that this is a "newly formatted" laptop, as in he just wiped it and installed Windows from scratch.

Kagamin, run CPUID HWMonitor and check your CPU and GPU temps as Dunlop mentioned. Post the temps here.
