FPS is cutting in half each 3 seconds, a synchronized FPS lowering and raising (lagging) !!!

Good morning, please help me!

even if i formatted my computer, reinstalling windows and drivers. Its anyway lagging in videogames (not only games, every programs with 3D/2D renderings).

A FPS just cutting in 1/2.

60 FPS to 30 FPS

40 to 20 etc.

and this is happening each 3 seconds, a non-stop synchronized lags.

Why are this fake lags. when my drivers working in a 100% functional.

Is that virus, or... i dont know... this continues 2-3 years... nothing helps.

here i diagnosited lag process:

~ HERE THIS STRANGE GROWING AND LOWERING STUFF WITH CPU. I tried to play Far Cry 3 BD with Low Graphic Settings

My videocard: Intel HD 4600

second videocard: Nvidia geforce 820M

my notebook: Acer Aspire E1-772G

Or.. i think its something about cache-saving problems. for example, if i play after starting windows, turning on computer. Something cache is growing by rendering 3D-Shaders, and in 3-6 minutes playtime my problem is beginning! Maybe this is my windows 8.1 64bit problem, which dont have something administrator permission. oh well, i dont know.

thank you!

oh oh oh wait, yeah its probably cache or something problem. I continuing playing Far Cry 3, played 2 minutes i minimized game window (paused). and after some minutes i continued playing again, and you know what? the problem is not beginned immediately, its started after 30 seconds of play. I think its saving something shader cache while playing, and its seems filling and deleting cache, and there is problem on deleting process (each 3 seconds, synchronized lagging). I think this is it. I still dont know anyway. but this is strange absolutely.

or this is a CPU problem, not a graphics... repeat: i reinstalled with format windows 8.1

ZoDX32: Thank you very much for joining the Intel® Graphics communities.

In order to try to fix this problem we can try a BIOS update to the latest version, 1.03. Please get in contact with Acer to gather the instructions of how to do it, on the link below you will see the file needed. Also, to install the latest graphics drivers provided by them will be a good option to do, please look for VGA driver from Nvidia and Intel:

Since the processor works with Intel® HD 4600 graphics controller, if the problem persists after trying the steps above, another thing to do will be to install driver version 4624:

Thanks for help. I solved this problem by changing CPU's termopaste. Current was very dry and crack. Im so glad now, i've not changed about 2-3 years.
