I have a gigabyte P57 gaming laptop that used to run 35-40 degrees when idle and 80-90deg GPU (around 85 CPU) under load (games like BF1, Fallout76 , Battlefront 2 and PUBG in ultra settings at good FPS). I overclock it through a gigabyte program that came with the PC.
Like 2 days ago I noticed it got to 95 deg GPU and 90 CPU.
During that time it performed normal.
Next time I tried gaming I started having issues. Now when I start games It wont go higher than 60 degrees, also the automatic fans (like they normally would) won't kick in since it doesn't need it. This takes a huge toll on the performance. Its almost like the GPU only works half way now. Like if the high temperature would have triggered some kind of throttle or melted something.
I have checked for dust and clogging but everything seems fine. I have a 5 fan extra cooling system that I always keep running.
It feels like the system is stuck and the high performance settings won't kick in when they should (note I always play with the laptop plugged in to the power outlet to get better performance). In addition, now i get weird 3-5 second screen freezes when i'm just in google chrome or other programs that my PC should easily handle.
I am kinda worried I may have burned the GPU out since I always run it on the highest overclock level that the gigabyte program will let me. It is weird because it doesn't have any huge issues like a dead card would, it just suddenly dropped performance and made things unplayable.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: I have run the FurMark GPU stress stress test and it still gives me the same issue. It says it puts a 99-100% load on the GPU, yet the laptop won't heat over 60 degrees and the performance is low.
