I have a HP Pavilion laptop with the following specs:
i3-5157U CPU @ 2.5Ghz with integrated graphics
It says 4 CPUs but I believe it's 2 actually CPUs and the other 2 are logically separate.
8Gb ram.
64 bit windows 10.
They're the only relevant specs (I think), anyway my problem is that when I'm playing games, or sometimes on while on YouTube or something that might be a tiny bit demanding for my CPU, I occasionally get >>Awful<< performance drops very suddenly.
This isn't just in game, it's my whole PC. I realize this could be due to CPU overheating, but when in game (and the performance is good) I hear my fan going pretty loud and then all of a sudden my fan goes to minimal and my performance drops. So it's like my PC is trying to protect my CPU but then turning off the things that will cool it down faster. weird.
My CPU usage drops to about 10-30% when this happens, and it happens so suddenly. It also doesn't fix itself, I have to restart my PC every time I get a performance drop which can get pretty annoying. But this does fix it every time, and it's good to go for another few hours then.
When my performance drops I usually get 1-5 FPS in games which is literally unplayable. I'm quite happy to play at anything above 10/15 because of the type of game I play and I usually get about 30 FPS. Is there anything I can do to keep my fan on? I think that might solve the problem, but I'd like to hear other suggestions if anyone has any! Help is very greatly appreciated!
