I've been gaming on my laptop for some time now, consistently getting 90-120 frames in titles like Overwatch, Destiny, and Warframe. However, for the past week, I've noticed a significant drop in performance, with frame rates plummeting to just 30-40. My laptop isn't dusty or overheating, and there haven't been any major driver changes until today when I realized how serious the issue has become. I've tried various solutions, like running malware scans, performing system restores, driver updates, and full scans with advanced system care, but nothing seems to work. I'm usually able to resolve these kinds of issues on my own, but I'm really stuck this time.

First off, check if your laptop has a dedicated GPU. If it does, make sure that your games are using that GPU to run. If they are, I’d recommend doing a health check on your RAM, storage, and GPU to see if anything's off. Sometimes hardware issues can cause sudden drops in performance.
Sounds frustrating! It might be worth running a benchmark test to see how your system compares to what it used to do. Sometimes, thermal throttling can happen even if your laptop feels cool—just something to keep in mind. Also, check your in-game settings to see if anything's changed there!
