Hello,
I recently started to have this weird problem. When I'm playing games, whenever the frames drop let's say from 60 to 59, or even from 40 to 39 , the game freezes for half a second and then resumes. The problem doesn't appear in games where I can maintain a stable fps, either 80, 60, or even 30 etc.
I have it in all my games:
Gta V
Apex legends
Fortnite
The stanley Parable
BeamNG drive
Nfs most wanted (2012)
Etc
Things that I've tried :
Reinstalling windows
Downgrading windows
Tried different drivers
Tried removing the ram
Tried using only the integrated gpu, problem still appears with it
This issue appeared right after I undervolted the laptop.
Also, the temps used to sit around 90°C in game, now they are about 70-80°C.
One thing I also noticed is that I used to be able to undervolt to - 175 before crashing, now it can reach - 220 before being unstable. Very strange. I did reset the values to default also.
It might be a coincidence though .
It feels like the cpu isn't getting enough power and starts to lag where it shouldn't.
I could send the laptop for repair but I don't know for certain if they will fix it (Acer, sigh) and 2 months without my laptop will not be easy as I use it every day at school.
If anyone could please help that would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
