My CPU Clock Speed Randomly Drops

[Gepoo13]

Hello,Recently I've been facing a problem where my laptop's CPU Clock speed instantly drops to 0.78Ghz after the CPU utilization reaches 100%. It's weird because right when the CPU's Clock speed decreases My GPU's utilization drops like 20% at the same time. I first thought it may be the Windows updates,i deleted all the windows updates,switched 3 OS,tried switching power plans but nothing seemed to work. I also forgot to mention in literally EVERY game i get fps drops because of this,even though i have the recommended system requirements.But i well remember 4 months ago i had no problem with fps drops.
Does anyone know a fix to this?
PS:My GPU's drivers are up to date,atleast that's what device manager says
Specs:
DDR3 4GB Ram
Intel Core I5-2410 CPU 2.30 Ghz (goes up to 2.69 with turbo)
GPU : GT 525M 2GB Vram

This sounds like thermal throttling. What are your thermals like? You can use a program like HWInfo64 to check.

Have you made sure the CPU is properly cooled? Usually thermal throttling doesn't drop clocks in this particular way but it's possible.

Thank you for your fast response but yeah you're probably right because i havent changed my thermal paste since i got this laptop (which is 11 years) lol

I cant say much since it's a laptop,but i've monitored the CPU Usage and yeah i've noticed that it gets hotter way faster than 4 months ago
