FPS drop

[Meautelulz]

First of all, i want to apologize for my English, its my second language so i hope i can explain my self with the problem i have.

 

My laptop started dropping frames in some games, for example, MGSV goes down to 25 FPS when it was running at 60 without any problem, TFT, a game that anything can run it, goes from 120-140 to 30, but in around 10 minutes they went to normal and some time passes and the FPS go down again, and it keep it doing that for around 2 days.

 

Today i run in to the same problem but in a different way.

I was playing MCC and it average 100 FPS, and suddenly at around 10 minutes the FPS went down to 30 and in some places it goes up to 50, then a cute scene plays and they go up to 144, the cute scene ends and the game plays normal, averaging the 100 FPS but then another 10 minutes past by and the FPS drops to 30-50 and it keeps doing the same thing.

 

My concern its that the cooling system got in to some problem, i know this maybe its some overheating but i didn't have this problem before and i was playing The Witcher 3, The Outer Worlds, Control and other demanding games.

 

My last hope is that maybe changing the thermal paste can solve this but, i want to read what do you guys think.

 

Things i tried to solve this:

1. Desinstall all programs that may be causing the problem

2. Deactivating services and restarting to tryout if 1 of them was causing a problem

3. Updated GPU driver

4. Uninstall and install GPU driver

5. Format pc and reinstall everything 

6. Lock CPU voltage to 30 cause it was cap at 90 from fabric 

7. Lock GPU at 1200-960Hz

 

PC specs:

Asus Rog Zephyrus

Intel i7 9750H

If there is a problem with the cooling system you would be seeing high temperatures.  Are you?   There are apps that will graph heat levels and cpu use.  CPUZ comes to mind but others may have better suggestions.
 

Things I can think of that might be worth looking at:

-heat (you mentioned)

-background applications (malware? Something else?)

-windows version (apparently some releases have weird problems.  I’m not super familiar.  Might be nothing)

-driver issues (sounds like you at least attempted to address that. Others are more familiar though)
