{MOVED}ALIENWARE M17X R3 PROBLEMS
Good day,
A week ago my lap top started to do something funny. While playing games (no matter what game) there is big FPS drop for 2 or so seconds, and then it runs fine for 2 minutes, and drops again. I tried this test
As you can see, there is no drop in memory or anything, just in GPU usage. Temperature is steady also... i really do not know what is the problem.
GPU is Nvidia Geforce GTX 560M, and processor is i7 - 2670.
Can you help me with this?
Thank you!

on a TOTALLY DIFFERENT BRAND of gaming laptop, there were users who reported a similar problem, and that it went away when they disabled mcfee antivirus. you could try a brief test if you have it active right now. *IF* that eliminates the problem, then you need a way to configure it differently ot try a different antivirus (but dont run without one).
- i have NO idea if this is relavent here at all.

Hi Rade986,
As per the post by bcsearle, you can surely go ahead and try disabling the anti-virus software and check for issue resolution. You can also update the video driver and the system BIOS. You may download the driver from the links provided below.

I hope you find this useful.
Thanks and regards,
