Glitching while gaming

[Mouse-Potato]

Hello all,

 

I recently re-installed win7 on my laptop and put a 240 gb sandisk ultra 2 SSD in it just before hand.

 

I play battlefield and WOT and for some reason during game play I'm getting glitching, the screen freezes for 2 seconds every once and a while during game play.

 

Not sure if this is hardware related, but, has this happened to any of view and if so how did you fix it?

 

Thanks LTT'ers

Turn v-sync on so you don't get screen tearing.

Also are your drivers up to date, as I can't edit post on mobile.

yeah try update drivers and avoid betas

Well, last shot at the driver is to download the latest driver.

Use Display Driver Uninstaller to uninstall the driver in Safe Mode, install the stable driver after the computer's restarted, try if that's gonna solve it.

I have the latest non Beta Nvidia driver 344.65

 

I'm wondering if it has to do with my SSD or would that be unlikely?

I'd say it's very unlikely it's your SSD, but do you notice anything weird with it? Like performance is not as expected?

If you've already uninstalled the driver with DDU, restarted, and reinstalled the driver... then, well, you can go for a long shot and use some kind of monitor program to watch if any of your drive is giving errors, if the SSD is, contact the manufacturer because that's one bad luck you had.

If not... does the problem persist only in games? Or does it extend to out-game, too?

Try using GPU-Z to monitor the graphic card while gaming, when it starts shuttering, check the usage tab (or however it's called), see if there's weird spikes or abnormal usage or anything.

You're using a laptop so... well, are you sure when you put the SSD in, everything is solid in place? Probably is since the laptop hasn't unexpectedly shut down or BSOD yet.

So now, try sending a support ticket to your laptop's manufacturer describing the problem and see if they'd look at it. If you're willing to do the painful way, try swapping the SSD out for your old hard drive to see if the problem persists, making sure it's not your SSD.

Like I said, unless the SSD is wonky out of the box which is already unlikely, it's unlikely to be your SSD.

In short: Use software to check SSD, if nothing's wrong, send a support ticket to see if they'll look at it or try with your old hard drive while checking if anything is where it's not supposed to be inside the laptop.

Performance is excellent.

 

I will try monitoring it and see what shows up, thank for the info!
