Alright, so one day I was gaming on this gaming laptop equipped with gtx 770m. Games were running at Ultra and such with 60+ frames and never dipping below 60.
Suddenly, all of my games can't run on even 1920x1080 and have to be on lowest settings (even then I get around 10 frames on games that aren't even graphically intense).
Here is what I've done:
Cleaned insides (compressed air can)
Rolled back driver
cleaned HDD (deleted useless crap) and used CCleaner
Defragged HDD
scanned for malware with malware bytes (discovered a couple things, but it didn't fix the issue)
checked to see if I was in a power save mode (i was not)
A little side note: I noticed when playing some games, the frames will rapidly jump from 60 to 20 or 60 to 30 very quickly (so movement on screen moved fast, then slowed, then moved fast, then slowed repeatedly in very quick succession). Not sure if that will help with identifying what could be wrong though.
