========================
Detailed description：Around October 17-19, my laptop(BIOS 308, the latest offered by MyASUS) performance suddenly decreased. For example, playing videos games my FPS would be 60 normally, but now it is 9-30. Overall, there are stuttering and lagging when playing video games. My internet is working fine. Streaming videos, doing multiple tasks, or downloading, there are noticeable lag. MyASUS(V2.2.44.0) checkup shows there may be an issue with the fan. I've went to Nvidia Control Panel and set it to High-Performance Nvidia Processor, Power Option and set to High Performance and still nothing. Using Turbo mode, the fans are somewhat quiet and CPU/GPU fan kicks up to 2800-2900 RPM. Normally, using Turbo mode, the laptop emits a very loud noise and CPU/GPU fan kicks well over 5000-5500 RMP. So something is wrong here. I've also installed ASUS System Control Interface V2( V2.2.30.0) and reinstall MyASUS and the problem still persist. I've also resetted my laptop twice and it fixed nothing. I've checked Task Manager and Armoury Crate(V3.1.6.0), CPU/GPU temperatures seems fine. I'm not tech savy and not sure what is going on. Could it be CPU/GPU fan? Or motherboard? If you need more information to help a guy out, please ask.
Edit: I also should mention when I do Full Scan on Window Virus Security, it usually take 15-20 minutes and utilization of CPU is 98-99%. Now, it takes slighty longer and utilization of CPU is around 33%. I don't know if that info will help. I've also never underclocked or overlocked my CPU because I don't know how to do that.
Edit 2: I've emailed ASUS about the issue. It will take 48 hours for them to get back. I will update as soon as ASUS respond.
Thank you

It's really disappointing that this topic has not been picked up by any moderators or ASUS members. From my emails, ASUS thinks this is an isolated or individual issue. This is definitely a widespread issue and they haven't gotten any reports about this.

It really is almost a week since first post

Hello all. Just wanted to state I am having the same issue, hopefully someone from ASUS sees this. My system started with poor performance about a week or 10 days ago, I thought it was some Microsoft update issue, but decided to google "FX505GT slow" and it brought me here.

Please fix ASAP ASUS! I did note the work-around in disabling services, didn't try it yet but might soon if there is no update.
Thank god I saw this, I was about to start Windows re-installs or system restores, sounds like that would have been a fruitless frustrating task.

Thanks,
Steve

Hello everyone. I am really very frustrated by this problem. It is necessary for Asus to please get a solution for our PC. There are many of us with this same problem and it is something that should give us a definitive solution from Asus

Solution for FX 505 GT lag and performance drop issues.

BIOS downgrading won't fix this problem as it auto updates on every reboot.

Do this thing instead ,

Go to windows search and type -msconfig.

Click enter and go to services and check- hide all microsoft services.

Then disable the following services shown in the pic below and restart the laptop.

Untick these services and click apply and ok.

(Also disable extend battery life in gaming from intel grahics panel)

NOTE:

Armoury crate and My asus wont work after following the above mentioned procedure.

To revert back you just need to enable all those services and restart the laptop.

Till asus fixes this issue this solution works.

That could provide some temporary relief but if you want those apps to function then you should wait for the asus team to fix it.
atleast you could work on the laptop instead of suffering that lag.
I don't find a need for armoury crate and my asus
(windows performance slider seems far better for me)
There is a seperate app for game visual in microsoft store thats enouugh for me
Just incase if i want to check my system then i would enable those services and install my asus application then again undo it.
The only thing that i cannot use is charging limiter.

I wanted to share what I found, the problem is with the power management so if I unplug the cable the computer needs to reboot so I am not using the battery, another problem is with the dual monitor so I stop using the monitor dual, I also try this configuration, this helped me a lot, I tried the configuration with boot option, but i did not sense any better performance
