Unexpected slowdown

Hey! So, I recently downloaded Dolphin and things were going fine, despite what I read about my laptop not being able to run things at full speed - Tales of Symphonia, Super Mario Sunshine, Wind Waker, Path of Radiance, and Twilight Princess were all running at 80% or higher, while Metroid Prime and Resident Evil Zero played at about 50-60%. Recently, though, things have suddenly started to slow down to unplayable levels. I run a D830, 1.80GHz and 2 GBs of Ram.

I'm not interested in "your laptop isn't capable of running dolphin" answers, because things really were working well until today - so I guess I just need to know if this is a common problem and what would I can do to fix it.

Thanks in advance Smile

You could check the temperature of your laptop. If it is overheating, open it up and remove the dust, especially near the fans and where the air exits the laptop.

Ahhh, that worked beautifully. Thanks so much!
