    Asus G51-VX Slow Motion Problem

    I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem and has some kind of fix to it. While playing games, after playing them for a couple of minutes I start to have this slow motion effect. I have searched Google for what might cause this problem, but I don't even know what the name of this problem is.

    Basically I'll start playing lets say Crysis 2, and after about 5-15 minutes of game play or even sometimes 30 minutes to an hour I'll start to get this slow motion effect in my game while retaining decent fps. I can have like 40 fps, and every 3-5 seconds my game has a slow motion pause for about 1 second without fps dropping or changing. It's more noticeable in FPS's than MMO's or 3rd person games.

    Another problem I posted on here is that I was having GPU issues causing my system to crash randomly while doing GPU intensive things, but was resolved by relowing and bonding the chips. The people who fixed it said my slow motion issue was probably processor related. I believe this to be true because when I change some processor settings in power4gear hybrid like making it so my cpu max state to 80% and it takes a lot longer for the slow motion problem to happen but eventually it does. Anything below 80% just makes everything chuggy so I leave that alone.

    I'm hoping this problem can be fixed without upgrading hardware cause I've talked to other people who can play Crysis 2 without the slow motion problem that I have. Also it's not only Crysis but sometimes it'll happen in Guild wars, League of Legends if shadows are too high, APB on the lowest settings, L4D, I've seen it occur in all of my games almost.

    I'm using the standard Asus G51-VX RX05 from Best Buy with P7350s. It was doing this at stock settings and I've attempted to under volt, overclock, underclock the CPU and overclock the GPU without any luck. Running Windows 7 x64.

    Will appreciate any insight anyone has.

    Idle around 60C-70C(with powermizer) on full load 90C-100C with a cooler, otherwise 99C-108C

    hmmm at 100c it will still run full speed, but maybe your throttle before the 107c mark , could be your cpu throttling as well.

    I don't think that's it. It can start as soon as the game starts and it's still at 70C on GPU and 50C on CPU.
