So the problem is that for a while now my laptop (asus X750Jb) has been runing with bit less power should i say. I don't remember the exact day it started and it got slower but it's been like this about 3 weeks now and it's very annoying ! I used to be able to play games like Battlefield 4 very smoothly with medium/low graphic settings and with decent 30-35 fps. but now it cant do anything near that with low graphics it still only goes only as high as 27 fps tops, and most cases not even that much... and i keep getting these huge lag spikes, where the frames drop to somewhere as low as 15fps and stay there for a second or 2.

I've scanned my laptop with malware bytes and done the disk defrag from controlpanel and it hasent helped to the problem at all, so if someone could help me with this problem i would be very greatful :)

Since it's a laptop there is not much to be taken a part and to be blown but ill give it a go. One thing that might be heplful to know is that always when it spikes it shows in the taskmanager "disk section" that 99% of it is in use and the program that causes it is "system and packed memory" or something like that and second one is schvhost if i got it right. and the fan spins quite fast at that time aswell, and then it goes back to normal again
