Alright, so my Laptop is about 7 months old, and has been working fine up until a month ago.
I used to do some light gaming, playing: World of Warcraft, Age of Empires III, that sort of thing. My laptop could handle it NO problem. But for some odd reason, I will be playing a game, and it will be fine. For about 2 minutes, then it lags for about 1 minute, and then it’s fine again… I have been using: Advanced System Care 5 (Paid for), CCleaner, I have tried everything. Turning on: “High Performance” on the power options menu, I have changed the visual options for best performance, and I even bought “Game Booster!” And nothing works! I am starting to get angry…. Any help will be appreciated, thank you in advance.

Run Windows Update and see if it finds a graphics driver update.
Type dxdiag in start/search for more info.
Uninstall Game Booster. At least until you get things fixed. (It’s a placebo gimmick anyway.)
Advanced System Care is ok, but you should try doing these maintenance steps yourself so they get done right.
