Keeps shuttering when doing simple tasks like surfing on chrome, doing work in Microsoft words and when I tried to refresh my laptop, it’s shutters😑 and all games that I dowloaded also can’t play ie fortnite dota csgo. Also tried to tweak the nvidia settings but nothing seems to work. Is this model thrash?

    Most likely you need to add more RAM. Windows uses around 2 GB, so you are left with only 2GB, which is probably not enough for csgo and for fortnite you probably need at least 8GB.


    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.
