FPS suddenly dropped on all my games

Hi guys,

To start off with, here is my rig:
- Intel Core i7-6700T CPU @ 2.80 GHz, 4 cores
- 16GB Ram
- It's an AIO (all-in-one)
- Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M 4GB

Info on games:
- I used to get 60 FPS, 1080p on R6, now I get 20
- I used to get 30 FPS, 1080p on PUBG, now I get 30 FPS on 720p
- Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGqlhccgHgI is a video of Fortnite gameplay with the same GPU, but I have a better CPU and more Ram, however with the same settings as him, I get half his frames. This gave a clear indication something was wrong
- And worst of all, 20 - 30 FPS on CS:GO 1080p, low settings?

I wasn't bothered too much as I played Fortnite for quite some time with extremely low settings, but firing these games up now as well as Fortnite, I realised I need to do something about this.

Extra info:
- Upon running Fortnite, I put all my settings on the lowest possible, lowest res and 65% 3D resolution and I got 85 degrees celsius on MSI Afterburner. Don't know a lot about computers, but hopefully that's useful information.
- I have all my games on my HDD, but I had them all on there during the times I was getting good FPS as well (I have an SSD with little storage tho)
- I had this computer for around 1 year and 4 - 5 months.

Any help is extremely appreciated. Thank you in advance!
 
Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling your GPU drivers with the latest revision? You may also want to see if the platform has any BIOS updates for your AIO. Speaking of AIO, you can pass on the make and model/SKU of your AIO so we can do our own digging.
 


Hi,

I'm not sure what a BIOS update is, I've done some research and I am still confused, is there a good website you have in mind that can help me perform a BIOS update? And I haven't reinstalled my GPU drivers, but I've got the latest update. My AIO is an: ASUS All-in-one Z240IC PC Series
I've also noticed that my system is overheating. I've left the PC alone for hours without anything running and it's 75 degrees and when I play games at the lowest settings, it's 85 degrees, sometimes a tiny bit more.

Thanks a lot for your help!
