    I got M570 with 9300 and 8800m gtx (vista 64x).

    The only game I play atm is warcraft3.

    The problem is that the game pause or stutter every 5-10 seconds!

    although fps is fine.

    I tried about several different drivers and there are no improvements.

    Can you guys give me some advice?

    it could be anything, high cpu usage caused by background programs, HDD, internet, etc.

    Maybe he means some background process that might be accessing your HD while you play, causing slowdowns.

    Do a test for us, take the battery out of the system and then try gaming. I have the same problem with two games Crysis and world in conflict. If the battery is in it stutters, but if its out it works just fine. The strange thing is, it doesn't happen with every game just crysis and world in confilct. All the other games I have work just fine.

    i guess its because Crysis and World in conflict needs high requirement.

    On the other hand, war3 is about 6 years old?

    Anyway, I solved the problem by installing another driver.

    It works!
