Hey everyone. So, I've been having a problem while playing games on my laptop. It'll be running completely smooth and fine, and then my fps drops massively and it's difficult to even attempt to play the game. This has happened with two different games (League of Legends and RuneScape). When I go into task manager once it starts lagging, I noticed that in both cases the games roughly doubled in memory usage. I've disabled Windows Defender/Firewall and other programs that run in the background and it doesn't seem to help at all. I've updated my graphics card and that didn't help either. I also changed the graphics of both games to bare minimum and it will still occur. Any help as to why this is happening and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.
Computer Specs:
ASUS Q550LF
Windows 8.1 Pro
Intel i7-4500U CPU @ 1.8 GHz - 2.40GHz
8GB RAM
64-bit OS, x64-based processor
NVIDIA GeForce 745M
If I left something out that would help you understand the issue, just let me know! Thanks.

EDIT: I used MSI AfterBurner to see what exactly was changing when the fps drop started. My CPU usage is literally the only thing that had any noticeable change... :/
