  2. Random FPS Drops on Windows 10

    So, this has only happened on windows 10. Every single game i can play on my laptop always has this random FPS drops.

    It is like when im playing the game and it handles normally. Then randomly a FPS drop happenes. Which makes my experience with the game worse. After the FPS drop, it goes back to normal. And it repeats. (FPS drop stays for a lot of minutes, and the normal
    doesnt.)

    Any ideas? Please tell me if you know or find out!

    Sudden FPS drop/Stutter

    Since 2 days ago, I just turned on my Computer, and it starting having issues while I was playing Witcher 3 (starts with decent fpsm and then very low fps, dropping to 35, then 20, and stopping at 12 or so, in a matter of seconds, in a matter of 1min of starting the game), also stuttering without any high demanding programs, randomly. I was playing at 45-60 fps, without any stutters or sudden fps drop. Have tried other games the issue persists. Even setup everything to low settings.
    I have ran several tests with several tools, all seems normal, no sudden memory spikes, or temperature raising out of the ordinary, nothing that would indicate such an fps drop or stuttering.

    MSI Afterburner

    I also did the reset option on Windows10, completly cleaned out all my personal info from the windows partition.
    So at this point, I am not sure if it is a software issue or a hardware issue.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Edit: I kept doing some tests to find out the issue. And this happened before and I was able to replicate it. Same thing happened as before, till I set it up to fullscreen, Alt+Tab from the game and then back to the game, FPS went up to 50 again, stable and good, dropped after a couple of seconds. After a bit it went to 2-5 fps, and I had to shutdown the game, because even the sound was getting messed up.

    MSI Afterburner 2

    In this image those ups and downs in the GPU usage are when the fps dropped really hard and the sound got messed up.

    Random FPS drop

    Hello there,

    Now my problem started a month ago in April, the games that were working fine earlier started having some sudden FPS drops, the drops were for some seconds and then again the games used to come in normal condition.

    This problem was occurring in many games which used to run at 50-60 fps earlier. My laptop is HP 15 BS658TX with all updated drivers and updated windows 10 . The laptop was getting too hot when I used to start a game so I thought that it might be a heating
    problem , so I used MSI Afterburner to monitor usage and temperature of CPU, GPU and RAM , my CPU and GPU were both going to 70+degrees in Celsius and till 65-70 degrees no fps drops were there and CPU usage was also normal , but as it hits 70 the CPU usage
    hits 99 or 100% which causes fps drops then it remains for sometime and back to normal while the temp remains high. The GPU also have high temp around 85 degrees so I stopped with the fear of burning it.

    As the summer is going on so room temperature is usually 40-43 ℃ . I know this is very high but I want a confirmation that the problem is due to the heating only or something else.

    I also tried to play games in front of cooler and it worked , no fps drop occurred.

    So pls give me confirmation that what exactly is happening.

    Thanku.
