Hi all,
I recently bought a new gaming laptop (HP omen 17-w121nd) which worked perfectly the first two days.
The third day it worked perfectly in the afternoon, but after shutting down and starting up again in the evening some issues arised. The laptop was getting very low FPS in Overwatch and COD4 and felt a bit slow on response in general. After consulting the Overwatch forum I tried the following:
- updating overwatch
- updating the graphic drivers to the newest ones. (as with all other drivers, i ran the updates the day I got the laptop)
- downgrading the graphic drivers one step back (as suggested in the overwatch forum, these were considered the most stable for the game)
- rebooting several times.
- unplugging and replugging power supply.
But because also COD4 has trouble, I suspect the problem isn't with overwatch.
The strange thing is: after trying all this (and not getting results). I waited until the next day, and all problems were gone. Then one day after that, Boom, problems are back, very low FPS. And so was the day after that. Right now, two days forward, the games are working again. Without changing anyting in between.
One more strange thing that happens: the moments where the games have problems, also the HP support assistant won't find any updates. Right now the games work, and also the support assistant works.
I've used the hardware scan, and it could not find any issues. I'm at a loss, and on the verge of sending the laptop back in. Which I really don't want, because I really love the laptop (on the days it performs well)
BTW, I've also checked for overheating, but that wasnt the case (see pictures)
Overwatch good FPS:

Overwatch bad FPS;

Is there anything I can check or do to solve the problem or to find the source?
Thanks in advance
