Question
Divine –
Pls can it run any game like Fifa 20 above?

Dan –
This is a weak laptop for FIFA 20 and gaming in general. If it’s playable at all, I assume FIFA 20 will run on slow frame rates even on the lowest graphics detail settings, likely at around 20 fps.
Divine –
My God
What about Fifa 18 or 19?
Dan –
I think 18 and 19 are either slightly lighter or the same as 20. What can certainly help is adding another RAM module to increase it to 8GB and have dual-channel memory which generally improves gaming performance. My guess is you’ll be able to get 30fps or even slightly more with dual-channel 8GB RAM. I was able to achieve that on FIFA 2018 with a laptop with similar specs. I believe this laptop model has 4GB soldered and a free RAM slot for adding more RAM, but it’s best to check it yourself or with your laptop seller.

Okay, how bout Fifa 17 mod 22?
I guess that will do it, huh?

My Lenovo IdeaPad 330 is one month out of warranty, last night it gave me a blue screen I tried to troubleshoot it didn’t work and after couple of minutes it automatically went off. Anyone who has been that crap please help me out.
Thank you.
Dan –
The last time I experienced that, the CPU fan got broken, so the CPU got overheated and the laptop shut down. Do you hear any fan noise when the laptop is on?
