    My G50V is lagging really bad that im even able to play games. I tried disabling the touchpad in bios, updated the drivers and bios 207. Set priority of SynTPEnh.exe and SynTPHelper.exe to low, and I just did the recovery from the disk. Nothing has fixed it.

    Can you explain your issue a bit more please? Have you tried HWMonitor to see how hot it is, looked at task manager and seen what is eating up CPU usage, used GPUZ to see what your current clocks are while gaming? You mentioned your touchpad, have you done the above and found it to be the issue? If so, disabling it as you have done, as well as disabling its windows startup items will allow you to isolate the issue.

    A fair number of G50v owners had this laging/high CPU usage problem, and the fix that worked for them was to disable the USB2 Enhanced Host Controller 293c.

    Try that and post back.

    I tried disabling the USB2 293c but nothing. When gaming everything will freeze and i will hear sounds repeating over for a few seconds then it will start working again. Also my keyboard is lagging really bad right now.

    It looks like a buggy app, very bad driver issue, or perhaps even a hardware problem.

    If you watch the Task Manager, Processes tab, while you are at the desktop and doing nothing with the computer; is there any process that takes more than 10-20% of CPU for more than a couple of seconds at a time? If so, post its name here. It may be causing your lags.

    next to System Idle Process under CPU it is jumping up and down from around 50-98.

    Nevermind System Idle process, that's (as the name says) where the idle CPU cycles go. I'm interested in other processes.
