Since about a week, games on my laptop have been experiencing a massive fps drop during gaming sessions. Normally I was able to play Rainbow Six Siege at 45fps on medium settings and 60fps at custom low. While I know that's bad in itself, that's not the issue. A week ago I reverted back to windows 8.1 from 10 using the recovery image on my HP Laptop because I had a network card issue. Ever since, the games I play have been acting up. The fps suddenly drops from 65 to 25 in game and keeps fluctuating.
PC Specs
CPU - Intel Core i7-5500u
RAM - 8gigs
GPU - Nvidia GeForce 840M
- I have updated my Nvidia drivers after I did my recovery.
- I did not update my BIOS after the recovery though. Could that be a problem?
I am currently running 8.1 and wondering if it's anything related to the OS and if upgrading back to Win 10 could solve it?
Thanks a lot in advance.
