Dropping frames after minutes in-game.

[ipadzefox]

So the problem i have is that no matter what game i play, it will play perfectly fine for the first few minutes, but then it will drop to 5 FPS, even when the game is minimized. Everything is in slow-mo. I even tried games that i know worked perfectly fine a few months back.

Have tried closing all other programs that might run in the background.

 

I play on this laptop:

Dell XPS 15 9550

i7-6700HQ 2.60GHZ

16 gb RAM

GTX 960M

What games are you playing and at what fps did they use to run at?

 

Have you tried using a clean up program like CCleaner to clean all your.... "crap" off your machine?

 

Might be a fresh start for the laptop, new windows etc might do the job

Have you attempted a clean driver install?

What do your thermals look like (CPU and GPU)?

[ipadzefox]

Apex Legends, CSGO and Ring of Elysium all on lowest settings, They do also run fine on max for a few seconds. Used to get 90 FPS in CSGO.

I did a fresh install of windows a few weeks back. I do have CCleaner..

Temperatures? Latest nVidia and Intel drivers?

[ipadzefox]

Im running latest nvidia and Inteldrivers.

At 55 celcius on both GPU and CPU while gaming. I did notice that in my thirdparty program it did say that the CPU was at 100% load, while in taskmanager it only said 30%.

while gaming the CPU would not go over 700MHz clockspeed, when no game is running it stays at 3k MHz
