Also another tip: If you're going to stream or game and record, you can pause Windows updates during that time to avoid any conflicts that could cause stutters.

Go to Windows updates and find the link for Pause Windows Updates for 7 days.

Hi! Just a small update - a lot of people are saying dust build up in the fans can cause problems too - I noticed that I have a lot of dust in my fans - is there any way i can clean them?

HP Recommended

Ya, you can use some canned air and carefully blow through the vents.

If its really dirty, you would need to take the case apart and the fan shrouds and do a deep clean.

I see, some are saying that you have to use something Luke a tooth pick to prevent the fans from moving when using the canned air, is that true?

HP Recommended

No because you are going to use short bursts of air and blow it out carefully.

If you take it apart, then the fans are going to be removed anyway.

There are many videos on the web showing the subject. I would take a look at them.

 

If you have other questions, open another thread and ask.

Good luck.
