Went from 70-100 fps to 20-25 and cant go back.

*UPDATE* i've just used DDU to uninstall the AMD drivers and reinstalled the latest driver but i am still experiencing the same issues which lead me to think that this may be caused by windows or power management, not the display drivers.

 

I've been playing CS:GO on an laptop i had lying around after i had fixed it.
The laptop had a bad HDD that need replacing, but that shouldn't have much to do with its current problem i think.
Once i performed a clean installation of Windows 10 Home edition Cs go ran very well at 70-100 fps and was very smooth .But after a while i had a major fps drop like 20-30 fps with constant stuttering and no matter what i do i cant seem to get the fps back up.
Shortly after i ran into a problem where i had to do another clean installation of windows and that fixed the problem temporarily. I'm now back in the same place with 20-30 fps.

I've had to do another fresh install of windows and everything was working fine, i downloaded some apps: chrome, steam, csgo, java, and AMD Adrenalin(19.5.2). Once everything was installed i ran up csgo and everything was great for awhile. Unfortunately days later i had the same issue where out of the blue my computers performance plummeted .
My Cs go Setting Are All set to the lowest setting in 4:3 aspect ratio which sometimes gets stretched. I also play offline with bots on alpha map to maximize fps.
For those who might be wondering why i even bother, i use cs go to warm up my aim so i can play other games on a separate desktop or M&K supported games on console.

Also, I've posted this on a separate forum and was recommended to go into my bios and increase the amount of dedicated memory to the GPU. That didn't work as i have no access to the advance tab in my bios settings.


Computer Specs:
HP 15-f387wm
CPU: A8-7410 APU with Radeon R5 Graphics
Ram 4 GB( was 12 But i removed the second module(8GB) which comes from a different manufacture(Kingston) as i thought that was the culprit, both ram modules are compatible with one another"Also, removing the second module didn't affect performance.

Things I've tried:
-Going into AMD Radeon Settings and adjusting all for maximum performance
-Set windows to High Performance
-Set AMD graphics profile to optimize for best performance
-Set windows animation setting for best performance
-Reinstalling AMD video drivers

Sounds like your laptop needs to get cleaned as it's likely full of dust and overheating

So overheating can stunt his performance even though it works fine.  Also DDU may be a option.

sounds more like it works fine initially when windows installs then works bad after windows has a day or two to update the gpu driver , I'd say just make sure the machine only installs the initial driver and doesn't automatically update any drivers at all after you install windows

Its a laptop not a desktop , it's going to like one particular driver and thats pretty much it

Overheating is not likely the issue, when i replaced the hard drive i did make sure to clean the laptop a bit. 

But how would i go about using DDU? I've only read about it online when researching my issue and never really considered using it.
