Transk53 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 See what Task Manager says. That may give you an initial idea of what the Lappy is doing. Try and remember what you last did with the machine before this arose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transk53 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Check all the dvrs for the components, if it is just FM14 causing the issue, then that would be prudent. Windows 8 may also need an update. I can't see it being a hardware issue. Try running another game as well! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transk53 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 can u tell me how check dvrs and what am looking for ? and updated windows 8 everytime theres a update Easiest way is through Device Manager. Not sure of the pathway in Windows 8. Anyway, look there and you will have a tab that will let you update the dvr etc. That will search for one. Also search the manafacturers sites as well. There could be a latest WHQL one avaliable. The Lppy maybe new, but dvrs are often only baseline ones used to test the machine etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSCCG Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 What do you mean by "it feels slow"? You'll have to be more specific. like does it take a long time to load, or does it lag, is the mouse not responsive etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
