Hi, I've recently been gaming Fortnite on my laptop which has a nividia mx150, 16gb of ram and an i5 8th gen. When I first started playing, I could run a solid 80 frames on medium settings. But know, on low settings it can barely go past 30. I've also recently undervolted, it past  the stress test but could it be effecting my game. Any suggestions would be helpful. (Its been less then 6 months since I bought it)

Undervolting will affect your gaming performance as it restricts your voltages allowed to push the frames you need.

I would say that if you were getting X performance in a game.  then did action Z and are now getting Y performance.  its probably a result of action Z.
