Hello guys, I'm relatively new here and not a techie, so I'm hoping someone could help me locate and resolve my problem. When I first bought my laptop, games like Warcraft 3 ran very smoothly, with zero problems. Now, about a year later, I can barely even play WC3. When I enter a game, either in Single Player, on Battlenet, or on LAN, my gameplay will be incredibly choppy and slow for about 5-10 minutes, then for about 15 seconds it'll start running smoothly again, but after that 15 seconds it'll return to being very choppy, slow, and ultimately unbearable.
I've been told that it could be my graphics card overheating, but I have a cooling pad underneath and a huge tower fan blowing straight on my computer. It's as cold as ice, yet the problems persist. I've tried killing all unnecessary programs. I've changed the video settings in game to the absolute lowest quality, and I've even disabled AVG temporarily to see if that helps. Nothing helps. It's still the same problem.
Now, in the past on some forums I've seen people post their system specs. How do I do this? I tried dxdiag, save all information to desktop as text file, but it gives me a bunch of unnecessary gibberish, like paragraphs of code, just random letters and numbers, which is not what I've seen on the specs other people post. Could someone help me figure out how to do that? That way I can post my specs for you and someone could potentially help me.
Thank you so much.
