I have a HP ENVY 17,
windows 8.1.
i7-4702MQ
16g of ram
1T of hdd
GeForce GT 750M.
It is up to date on all drivers including the BIOS.

I know the problem. During gaming everything is fine and then the GPU goes to 0 from 100% and the CPU goes from mid 30's to 100%. Temps are at 70c for all cores and gpu. Please help. Thank you.

 
Solution
Depends whether its your cpu or gpu. What temps at idle?

Remove the covers and blow the dust out with compressed air. See if that fixes or helps fix it.
