So all of a sudden the games I play have been lagging intensely(rocket league, fortnite, cs:go, etc..). I used to have around 80-90 fps in rocket league with moderate to high settings, and now I can't get over 30 with the same settings, but when I drop the settings to, "potato" it is actually playable. When I'm tabbed in to Rocket League, my CPU usage is at 100%, and when I'm not playing, it's around 10%-15%. I haven't changed anything in my computer, and It actually happened overnight, and I made sure that all of my drivers are fully updated. Any help would be much appreciated, specs are below:

Alienware 14' Laptop Windows 10
Processor: Intel i5-4200M CPU @ 2.50 GHz
Ram: 8GB
