Take some canned air and clean it out. It could be clogged with dust, and overheating.

You can take and blow canned air into the intakes, for your fans. You do not have to take it apart.

What might have changed since all was well?
Some sort of maintenance, perhaps?

idts i just stopped playing games for a week but i didnt know it would become this buggy suddenly i installed all drivers pending and stuff as well. i scanned my computer and I have antivirus as well so i dont think a malware or something could have caused it

If you can, use system restore to reset your pc back to a time when all was well.

Ok I understand now but I don’t have a system restore of the time my laptop worked good. And because windows doesn’t have it on by default so now what do I do.

Have you recently installed windows updates?

Have you recently installed windows updates?

yes my windows is up to date

 

[geofelt]

Can you undo the latest windows update?
Here is a link on that:

Before you do, set up system restore. You will allocate some space on your drive for this.
Then take a user checkpoint.
Title it so you can recognize it.
In case anything goes wrong, that is a point you can recover to.

Are the laptop cooling fans running?
Might you have dropped the unit?
Some canned air sent into the intake vents might clear out dust or other obstacles.

If you accidentally dropped the laptop, you could have caused damage to the fans or cooling system
