all you told us was the outcome. there are plenty of things that can cause low fps. care to share more? like was this happened before? when was it started? what antivirus are you running? is the laptop plugged in? playing games with wifi or wired? etc.

I'm not really sure when it happened, it was fine until I open some games and play with it. Therefore, I didn't notice it until I played Dota 2 few days ago which I seldom play games nowadays. It happened before last year, overheating covered with dust which I fixed it by cleaning the fan. I had Kaspersky installed and updated drivers such as GC etc. My laptop was plugged in directly all the time, battery was extracted just because I don't need it. I'm currently using wifi to play online games of course but I don't think it's cost by the internet services because my ping was good at 5%.

maybe it's the internet. these few days when i access some places it's damn slow, but when i access websites from local and neighboring countries, it's damn fast. kaspersky should be disabled automatically during gaming. if you previously also play games with wifi, it's unlikely network issues.

Old M15x ? You must have accidentally enabled stealth mode.

Or, if u can share us your system spec.

agree.. it is a good upgrade from my current gtx 770m...

by the way.. anybody wtb gtx 770m?

You can try to post in garage sales.

i am currently testing w10 insider preview (build 10125) on aw18. there were only minor incompatibilities so far (e.g. installer issues due to incompatible os version. got around them by installing the drivers only manually).

there are still os bugs here and there. (plenty of them. it's like minefield. e.g. now the start menu is not working for unknown reasons hehe) for gaming, i think it's better than w8.1. the gpu drivers are still at their early development stages, but last night when i played bf4, intensive 64p large maps, everything was great.

My hand so itchy to upgrade the SSD. This AW loading is so slow

upgrade la.. got extra spare slot for ur old turtle hdd wat

You should. At least 128GB for OS

guys, recently bought AW 13, but when want to change to SSD, bios won't detect. how to solve?

does the ssd has a name?

anyone using aw 13? need some input..

Transcend SSD370 512GB

oh a 2.5" sata ssd. by right it should run with no issues.

make sure the interposer is connected properly to the ssd, and the connection to the mobo is secured properly. if it's still not working, test the ssd on another computer to see if it works. there should be no need to change anything in the bios, but just in case, check if the sata operations is set to ahci mode. (normally this is not necessary, because ahci is just a subset of raid)

i tried many times, but failed. but when revert back to original HDD, it's working fine.

have you tested the new ssd with another computer? or, using usb-based hdd enclosure and test it with your laptop?

Are you using latest version of bios?

it appeared that aw13 has incompatibilities with certain sata ssds. (e.g. crucial sata ssds have been identified. however their m.2 variants will work. http://eu.alienwarearena.com/forums/thread...crucial-mx-200)

it was said by the official support that this is a hardware issue, not bios, so it cannot be fixed.

this is new.

edit: what if you disable the secureboot in the bios?

also check out the videos. the second video said there were problems doing windows installs on the new drive. however it worked when using recovery made by alien respawn. but i am not sure if this is good for you because your laptop couldn't detect the new drive at all.
