i had purchased this laptop brand new from the store in mid November and had a good time playing games on it with no problems what so ever. About 2 weeks ago i began experiencing a noticeable drop in frame rate from games such as Team fortress 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Bioshock infinite, etc. Even though I could literally run those games at the peak of their performance with nothing going wrong, Now i cant even run Team Fortress 2 on low settings and break above 30fps
I don't know if this is a virus or a screw loose on my Laptop but i'd like a little help or even a solution.

I'm running on a Geforce 740m, 8gb of ram and an Intel core i7-4700MQ cpu running at 2.40 GHz while on Windows 8

I'm by no means a tech expert however I had a similar problem which turned out to be a memory leak. (I think xD)

As stated I have no background in computing but i thought I'd mention it
