Hello @waqasbajwa 

 

So this only happened when you removed the battery?

Not sure what could be happening then if you tried all those steps.

Did you also make sure the Nvidia control panel is not set to use Preferred graphics processor in Auto Mode? If you have that option, make it set to the Nvidia card only.

Also try setting the global settings tab in 3D Settings to power management mode > prefer maximum performance. Even if your battery is removed, I have seen this setting make a difference for a couple of users.

I think your model will have the UEFI Diagnostics partition. If it does, with the laptop off, turn on the power and rapidly tap the F2 key until the diag menu opens. You can run individual tests via Component Tests or run everything under Extensive Test (will take a few hrs).

Hi thx  for replying I already tried these steps my pc is on max performance and I'm using my dedicated gpu.the main thing is its only happening when I play online games otherwise it's normal with regular games.sorry for my bad English I hope you understand.and yes it's happening since I remove my battery.

Did you run the UEFI hardware diagnostics I mentioned also?

Otherwise I would not know whats wrong with your system, sorry.

HP Recommended

Yes I did there were two options memory test and hard drive both tests has been passed.

HP Recommended

Oh OK. Thats not the complete set of diagnostics then. I thought your model was new enough to have it.

There is a Windows version that "maybe" will shed some light on the power issue. It should have a more complete Component Tests option.

You can install it from the link below...

Failure code 305

Hard Disk 1 Full Test Failure

 

Your secondary drive is failing and needs to be replaced. Were your games being installed to that 2nd drive?

IF so, that would explain the lag spikes.

Your laptop expired the warranty a year ago, so you would need to replace the HDD yourself.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

I have 6 games in that hdd they are all working fine I have two online multiplayer games both are laging i even install them in ssd but results are same.

IF you disconned the HDD and run just the games from the SDD, does it work ok?

Assuming D is on the HDD of course.
