Please Help: Intel HD Graphics 3000 Problem.

Hello Everyone, On my Intel HD Graphics 3000 Any 3D game or slightly intensive game I play lags every few seconds. I will be playing Minecraft and this game normally runs @ 45 FPS, However every few seconds it lags down to 7-12 Fps FOR NO FREAKING REASON. It's so irritating and it makes games unplayable. I have a video made on my Youtube Channel of proof of this happening.

 

P.S: My CPU Is also normally using about 50% of it's power when I'm doing nothing. So this could Also have something to do with the CPU aswell.

Hi FrZrDragonUK,

Based on your description, I recommend you updating your graphics driver to the latest generic driver we have at this point available. You can get it at this link:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23102&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%207%20(64-bit)*&DownloadType=%0A%09%09%09%09%09%09%09Drivers%0A%09%09%09%09%09%09

It is also important to say that the driver we have is a generic driver. The computer manufacturer designs and creates custom drivers for your computer so a good idea is to install their driver.
