All of a sudden i experienced major fps drops in fortnite. The screen would constantly freeze and drop frames, making the game unplayable. I'd even have trouble alt tabbing out of the game, it taking almost 10 seconds. Other games seem to do fine like Overwatch and csgo, but fortnite seems to be the main problem. I've tried clearing my ram, changing the graphics settings in fortnite, and other things that didnt seem to work. PLEASE HELP

I play on a Lenovo y700

Nvidia geforce gtx 960m 4gb

intel i7 6700 hq

8 GB of ram

i have 256 GB of disk space
