[SOLVED] Random FPS drops on games, Can't find the cause..

[AbHiBruh]

Laptop Specs

Ryzen 5 3550H
GTX 1650
500GB NVME SSD
8x1GB RAM (6GB USEABLE BECAUSE CPU TOOK THE REST 2GB FOR INTEGRATED GPU)


Since few months while playing games in which I'm getting decent FPS like 40-60 I'm having sudden fps drops to 0-10FPS after playing for 10-15mins I've been trying to figure out it's cause but I don't know how to. People suggested me to use msi afterburner to know if it's CPU RAM or whatever is causing the problem. But I don't know what to look for while checking the performance stats list..

how full is the ssd?
what the ram usage?
cpu/gpu temp and usage during the game?

Check temps, for starters, and get a matching stick of ram, so you are running in proper dual channel. You can use CPU-Z to get your model number info, for ram. Single channel is a big performance penalty, on Ryzen.

I found that the issue is with my CPU Ryzen 5 3550h, can you suggest any fix for this?

How did you determine that?

And what issue might that be?

I used MSI after burner and checked all the stats and whenever my CPU temperature was going above 90% (which is like most of the time) my fps suddenly started dropping

Cpu temp or CPU usage? Clock speeds when gaming?

Either the CPU needs to be repasted, or your fans/heatsinks are clogged.
