Hello, I got a new laptop a few months ago. A MSI GE72 6QF, and it's been working great up to a few days ago.
It's been getting very bad framerates at games like CS:GO and Team Fortress 2, even on lower settings. The FPS drop has been everywhere from being on 50 FPS, then going up to 100, and then dropping down again. In some scenarios, like in Team Fortress 2, it's even been as low as 30 and going back up to around 80 FPS.

I was wondering if there was any way to fix this, because I think something has to be seriously wrong with it.

Specs:

GTX 970m
i7-6700HQ @2.6Ghz (Clocked to 3.5, this was already done by MSI before shipped out, as I have no idea how to clock or anything.)

Running on Windows 10 in a 1920 x 1080 resolution.

Thanks.

try reinstalling latest drivers do a clean install of the gpu drivers. you tick the box that says clean install when installing gpu drivers. also turn of v sync.
play about with nivada or amd control panel settings whatever one you have.
try rolling back to an older driver and see if it makes a difference.

what resolution is your monitor. turn power saving mode to high performance. change in game settings. turn off inter graded gpu in bios. change it to your gpu card. or load default settings in bios usually f10 < do go back into bios and change the igpu to your gpu as stated above. defrag hdd. look at clock speed when you have a game running to see if it changes if not then it could be a hardware fault. or driver issue. msi...

could have malware or virus. use an antivirus scan your system. also open up cmd right click run as admin. type sfc /scannow. install directx.

Remove all GPU drivers with this program and then reinstall them. The new drivers still retained the same old settings If that doesn't work, clean boot.

try a clean boot go to run then type msconfig. On the Services tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then tap or click Disable all. On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click Open Task Manager. for each startup item, select the item and then click Disable.
Close Task Manager. On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click OK, and then restart the computer.

if all of above don't seem to fix issue then a clean install of windows should help painstakingly time consuming but if it fixes it hell why not try,
