Something like this Samsung R480 stuttering problem - YouTube happens.Only on games, on videos its rare.
I have tried pretty much everything, from checking DPC latency which goes from 100 to 250, to installing/reinstalling/uninstalling (or whatever you would call it) drivers, changing power settings, the only think I havent done yet is clearing the laptop fan, which makes some strange noise.I havent done that because its very hard to open my laptop, Ive done it only once but didnt reached the heatsink.Maybe its thermal paste problem?.Ive cleaned it from outside using compressed air.The temperatures go like: IDLE:30-40 PLAYING PR:60-70-75.
The running procceses are 30, ive checked all of them, they are not the problem, tho my cpu goes around 50-70-100 when I play PR (I play it on low, 800x600) and the sound stutters like in the video I gave you link to. (not with so many freezes but still stutters).
Ive tried playing without audio/video (on VGA) wifi ports drivers, still the same.
Ive tried updating drivers, going on older versions, still the same..
Tried playing without external speakers, microphone, on battery, without battery, bought new battery, still the same.When I increase the volume its is stuttering even more, for example when I go into a heli and increase the volume and while holding Ctrl and moving the mouse to look around the sound sound crackling, popping and the video stutters.
Tried updating bios which didnt worked.Disabling Powermizer didnt worked.
I usually use Gamebooster/TuneUp Utilities and all kind of stuff that makes the computer ugly but run games on good framerate.
Also reinstalled/updated Punkbuster, which I am sure its not the problem, didnt worked.
Laptop: Acer Aspire 5738G
Win 7 Ultimate 64bit
Intel(R) Core 2DUO CPU T6500 @2.10GHz (2CPUs), ~2.1GHz
4GB ram
My pagefile is around 6084mb.
Ive tried changing didnt worked.
My antivirus is not the problem, my firewall is off, UAC off, always run on High Performance.
So my question is, can the Dust in the fan and heatsink make this problem?I am sure there is alot of dust in there, I have never cleaned the heatsink I have the laptop from 5-6 years.I havent changed thermal paste aswell.I open it from underneath
and clean it from dust with compressed air once a month.Also clean the heatsink from outside.And yes the vents where the fan is are closed but thats not the problem, im sure.
If anyone had this problem before and fixed it please help!And could this be something with the proccesor?And the hardware?
Thanks for reading!
Oh, and when I run PR on low priority theres less audio/video stuttering but I lose alot of FPS.
