Games run on low FPS after BIOS update.

[Jeidough]

After I updated the BIOS of my laptop, I ran a game of League of Legends and all of a sudden, it's in fixed 16-17 fps. Tried other games as well, the Fortnite runs at 4 fps. 

I do not know what else to do; nothing has changed, I changed nothing on my personal settings yet all of a sudden, this happens. I do not know what else to do; virtual assistant not helpful at all, creating a case is a hassle, and nothing has been able to help me or at least give me an idea of what happened. 

Do I need to take this to the service center again? I don't wanna go on that same hassle anymore.

Hi @Jeidough,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I understand you are facing a display flickering issue with your HP Pavilion 15.6 Inch Gaming Notebook PC. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

To assist better:

• Was there any recent update on the PC?
• Are all the drivers on HP Support Assistant up to date?
• If not please follow the document to update the drivers: HP PCs - How to Download, Install, and Use HP Support Assistant (Windows)
• Does the fps drop with or without the charger being connected?

While you respond to that please try the below steps:

• Go to Start Menu > click on Settings. 
• Type performance > choose Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows.  
• In the new window, go to the Visual Effects and select Adjust for best performance. 
• click Apply and ok...this should do the trick.

Update the BIOS, Chipset & Video, card drivers:

• Here's the link to download and install the above updates: Click here

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
