Performance problem in games VGN-A617s

[ch33tor]

hello

When I play any game (new or old: Red Alert2, quake4, doom3, ...) at start I have around 80 fps (minimum grapric details, 640x480). But after a while speed fall to 1-9 fps(I use Fraps).
After 2-3 minutes speed increase to 80 fps and than again fall, this repeat till I play.

I bought laptop in April and at start I games run smoothly at full details and 1440x900. Problem appear about 3 months ago.

What is the problem?



1gb RAM
Radeon x700 128 + 128mb

Hello ch33tor,

I have a VGN-A317M and it's usually running at 58°C in idle state and can reach 69°C in extreme cases (playing 3D games in August for example).

The HD is between 45°C and 48°C.

Good Luck !

Thanks for info.


Yesterday i clean notebook with vacuum cleaner.

The temperatures fall to similar values as benfmv said.


So it was probably to much dust in air vent.
