Question RTX 2070 maxing 100% 3D and low voltage issues ?

Hello, I've seen a lot of posts about this issue online and everything I have tried to fix the problem has not seemed to work. It's very odd and has had me banging my head against a wall for a while. So, during gameplay the game will be running perfectly, for example Beam.ng Drive. my GPU will show only 30% usage and temps' wont usually go over even 70c. and then about 10 minutes or a lot of times less, my usage will jump up to between 95-100% and I will start dropping frames to Anyware between 10-4ish FPS, but the temps still won't move above 70c, and sometimes it'll come back around and others it will not.

I have done a factory reset, used DDU to uninstall and then reinstalled all my drivers the only thing I haven't done that I've seen online anyways is repaste everything but like I said my temps never get above 70c and using HWiNFO i haven't noticed any hotspots or the VRAM overheating. I have noticed however before that when this happens the GPU drops to 20 watts and caps at 300MHz. if anyone has any recommendations I would love to hear it cause I'm really at a loss

Dell G7 7700 Gaming laptop

Specs:

Intel Core I7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz

32GB RAM

2 1TB of NVME storage

Nvidia RTX 2070 8GB

Windows 10

Edit: I forgot to mention that this does not appear to happen when I have the laptop plugged in via HDMI into a monitor. I will test it further to make sure it's not a fluke, but I had it plugged into a monitor using it as a desktop for months and only recently started taking it to the bedroom with me and that's when this started happening.

Picture using MSI afterburner showing the memory clock capping at 300Mhz. MSI for some reason won't show voltage but during this same issue HWINFO showed voltage was down to 18-20 watts.
