I have a Dell G15 5511 that I bought about two years ago. It has 32GB of RAM, an Intel i7 11th generation processor, and an RTX 3050 with 4GB. I anticipated it would run smoothly for at least four years, but lately, it's been struggling. For about a month now, programs like Revit and other software aren't functioning properly. In gaming, I used to get 70-80 FPS, but now it's dropped to just 30-40 FPS with noticeable lag. I've tried reinstalling drivers, and even reset Windows, but nothing seems to help.

Yeah, I agree with GamerFixer42. Dust can really clog up the system and make it overheat. And just doing a reset might not cut it if there’s hardware overheating issues. Definitely check the cooling system!
First, you should check your laptop's fans, heat exchangers, and air intakes for dust buildup. Cleaning these out can significantly help with performance. Secondly, if you've been gaming a lot over the past two years, consider applying new thermal paste. After taking care of the heat issues, a clean install of Windows might give your laptop a nice performance boost as well.
