Hi sam,

I don't have 8.1 so I can't make any specific suggestions.  I do suspect background tasks are the problem.  I think the easiest way to verify this is by using Razer Gamebooster.  It will suspend any tasks that might be causing the problem.  At least it's something to try.  Here's a link to read about it and download if you think it might be worthwhile: http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html
