In 5-6 minutes of playime it starts lagging.

When it starts lagging, it does it for a time, 1-2 minutes maximum, then it starts to run smoothly again for 1-2 minutes then it starts lagging again for the same time again, and again, and again. I've been dealing with this for one year, you are my only hope.

This sounds like major throttling but other things could be at play.

Would check temps. Get MSI Afterburner and see whether the lag spikes are affected by CPU/GPU temps and do they go up and down when it happens. 

You should also do a clean install of your GPU drivers to make sure everything is good there. 

If that doesn't help you may want to reset your bios. That can cause some issues in some cases if you did a bad overclock on cpu/ram. 

Probably some other things you could google but as a last resort I would reinstall windows.

That sounds like you're facing low memory ram issues or lack of a pagefile.

Okay, what's the system? What are the thermals like? Have you updated your firmware? Have you used DDU to reinstall video drivers?

Aight, I will try that, reinstallin windows was the first thing I've done, but let's see. Should I throw that laptop away, or just hug it if it works, but if it doesn't, I am gonna throw it away and then piss on it.

The precentage got down for no reason, and then they got up again. It don't matter on what game I try it, it just does it.

You can google it, Lenovo Y50-70 with a GTX 960M and a i7-4720HQ 2.60 GHZ, the thermals are awful, I have updated the firmware, and yes I did use DDU, and maybe I am gonna try it again.

Clean the laptop and remove the gunky filter. your CPU is overheating badly.

i would open it up clean all the air outs and ins then see what kinda paste is on the cpu then replace said thermal paste with something from grizzly,and then see where your temps are at. if there still a bit high i would look into getting one of those cooler base things that go under the laptop for extra cooling.
