Basically, when I start a game (Overwatch usually) my CPU (an Intel i5-7300HQ) performs fine with the clock speeds staying around 2.5-3.3 GHz but after a few minutes it suddenly drops to 800 MHz and the usage increases to 100% and stays there. It doesn't seem to be a thermal problem because the temps seem to stay around 70 C. I have no idea what the problem could be and any help would be greatly appreciated. attached is a graph of my computers performance during my last game where you can clearly see the drop to 800 MHz.

Have you changed the power profile to "High Performance" in  the windows power options menu?
