A few days ago I picked up a Alienware Laptop for a trade for my Xbox One. The pc was running games very well. I got 200 fps on Minecraft, no more less than 60 fps on black ops 2, and around 60, 70, even 100 fps on Overwatch at medium settings. I was enjoying the pc a lot and I was very happy with it, but when I turned it on one day my games were running very badly. My Overwatch started running around 20 fps and my Minecraft 50 to 60 fps. The only thinks Ive downloaded was Ccleaner, Speccy, Skype, Discord, OBS, Fraps, Wmm, Steam, Minecraft, Overwatch, and Roblox. All the games I tried to run were just lagging and I don't even know what happend!

Pc Info and specs:

Windows 10 Pro

64Bit

CPU: Intel Core i7 840QM @ 1.87GHz 57 °C
Clarksfield 45nm Technology

RAM: 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 531MHz (7-7-7-20)

Motherboard: Alienware

Graphics: Generic PnP Monitor (1600x900@60Hz)
1535MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M (Dell) 52 °C

Storage: 232GB Seagate ST9250410AS (SATA) 49 °C


Sometimes the pc will start to run the games fine, but after a while the frames just go down and down. I try restarting my pc when it isn't running games well and it does not work. I tried a lot of youtube tutorials and I even looked at other forums to see if anyone else had the same problem and knew a way to fix it. I just really need some help. Idk whats going on and its making me really sad. Please help me out! If you need anymore Info just ask. Thank you so much!
 
1 - Could you provide your temps? both GPU and CPU while gaming?
2 - Could you provide DISK, RAM and CPU usage in game? YOu can do that by monitoring Windows Task Manager.
3 - Are you running multiple recording softwares all together? I know it's dumb.. but yeah you've downloaded fraps, obs and possibly there's also shadowplay running in background from NVIDIA.
4 - Does these issues only started to happen after you installed these programs?
 


Thanks for responding!
While in Overwatch My CPU temp was: 72 °C
And My GPU temp was: 55 °C
While in Overwatch my CPU was at 40%
My memory at 50%
And My disc at 0%
Oh! And I was In Overwatch And It Took Up 320Mb of VRAM

To be completely honest I never have my recording softwares open. I only open OBS when my buddy wants to stream Minecraft, but when im in like Black ops 2 or Overwatch I never use them or even have them open.

Even after those programs were installed my pc did good, but after like a day or so my pc wasn't even preforming that well
If you still need any more info just ask!
