Re: Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare low fps on laptop

Have you uninstalled the drivers from Control Panel, restarted,  installed fresh latest drivers?

Next thing to do is:

Try this. If you aren't used to Safe Mode or scared of BSOD don't do it.

Uninstall your nVidia Drivers from Control Panel (all)
Restart into Safe Mode
Run DriverSweeper
Restart
Install Latest Drivers

If you have a BSOD on restart. Go back to Safe Mode. Go to System->Device Manager->Display Adapters Remove them, restart.

Safe Mode /w Networking will save the day

This is another popular tool, it's an alternative to DriverSweeper

The display driver could possibly be crashing because of heat.... that is always a possibility too.

Update your Intel drivers too

Do the first thing I said and be sure it's using the 640m.

Afterburner works.. just open graph for acitvity.  Do not however use it's overlay RiviaTuner, it does not work with Origin in Game.... it's one or the other or neither.  it's required for coins and join friends.
