OK your laptop is overheating, the turbo activates when temperature is low enough for it to run. Your processor has 2 cores (and hyper threading that is why it shows up as 4 cores) and its turbo boost is 8/10. This means when running all 2 cores (most videogames) it will turbo up 0.8 Ghz more...

Try https://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/ Run a game or a stress test, preferably on a small window on the side, and watch the temps and clock speeds. CPU should run at 2.8 Ghz with dual core tubo active, or somewhere in between that or 2.0 if too hot for turbo boost. If the CPU reaches 95C+...

Wait, have you seen the temps? I totally forgot to ask this. my friend's Dv6 for example had the heatsinks fins covered with dust that didnt let air cool the damm thing, the cpu was downclocking to 1.4ghz from it 2.6ghz 4core turbo. And the GPU too.

Weird, I cant really determine what happens. You could try some of the things shown here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/3kricg/guide_possible_fixes_for_dota2_fps_problems/ It could still be malware, maybe a hidden process. BTW that laptop doesn't really have good reviews, but I see...

Is any application or process running in the background? Open task manager and make sure to check "Show processes from all users" then order them by CPU usage.

The easiest thing you can do is to clean the heatsink by blowing air into it, but the dust has to come out through somewhere. If you can take it to a repair shop that would be nice. Make sure you specify them to clean the heatsink internally (take the fan off and remove all the dust form...
