My computer has recently begun making extremely annoying short freezes during games. The freezes last for about 1-5 seconds, and sometimes the audio skips, but almost never at the same time (I might have the audio skip in-game dialogue for 10 seconds without any freezes and vise versa, might be 2 seperate problems).

The problem persists through different games, and it happens in everything from Hearthstone to League of Legends and Diablo III.

An interesting thing is, that once in-game cinematics (like the Diablo act-introductions) start, there are no problems whatsoever. Neither in audio nor visuals.

I've searches far and wide for solutions, but I haven't found anyone with this exact issue. I've defragged my harddrive and installed drivers to try to fix the problems (although the sound drivers kinda bug me, I don't really know how to get them and how to find my specific sound card)

I use a Fujitsu Lifebook A532/G21 with a GeForce GT 620M GPU, Intel i7-3632QM 2.20Ghz CPU and 6 GB RAM

  • What level are your video and audio setting at? Having them too high might cause this

  • If it were myself, I would connect a 2nd monitor to the system and have it displaying live CPU, Memory and other performance indicators in real time while you are playing the game. As soon as you notice a blip in performance, check the performance counters to see if another process is consuming resources.

  • When was the last time you cleaned out your cooling vents and fans? have you tested your file system and hard drive for problems yet?

Did you recently do any updates to your computer? If it used to work, but no longer does, something has changed.

I would go to Fujitsu's website and look for applicable software, driver, firmware updates to your laptop. Specifically look for driver updates.

Sometimes Windows installs a driver update that is older or not as good as the manufacturers driver. This can cause issues similar to what you are experiencing.
