I'm having trouble identifying the cause of a sudden drop in my Laptops performance in certain games. Its a Toshiba Satellite P850-31L and with certain games it could run them very easily at their highest settings then suddenly one day at I noticed that I I had been locked to the lower settings and it now says my computer isn't powerful enough to go any higher. And the frame rate has also gone down a lot compared to how it used to perform.
For example I could run Skyrim at very high graphics settings very smoothly and the most recent total war games at the highest unit size and high unit detail.
The Anti-virus software is saying that everything is fine and there are no unwanted malware or viruses the might be causing a problem. I have also tried cleaning out the fan its defiantly not an over heating issue. The graphics drivers (Intel and NIVIDA) which came with the system are both up to date. And finally there is defiantly nothing wrong with my computers system memory.
So I was wondering if there is any other possible problems that could be causing this sudden drop in my laptops performance or a better way of identifying it?
