Hello guys. I have a Dell Inspiron 14R 5421 with Nvidia Geforce GT 730M and Intel HD 4000.

I always played games with no problems. The thing is, yesterday I was playing Mass Effect 1, and the game suddenly froze. Actually the whole system froze. So I had to force a power off.

Since it happened, whenever I try to run any game using Nvidia, it gets laggy (around 10 FPS, no matter what game). I already checked the GPU with Nvidia Inspector while running any game and all stats seem to be normal (100% GPU usage and temperature around 70ºC). But it's laggy, no matter what I run, even VEGAS is laggy. Like, WTF! I would think the problem is the CPU or something, but whenever I run anything with integrated graphics everything seems to be ok..

I already reinstalled my drivers using DDU. I don't know what to do...

EDIT: I know there are other threads about a similar problem but in all of them is because the GPU was not using 100% of its power, which is not my case.

Sorry for my English.

Already tried that. And yes, I'm using Windows 10.

Is it possible that my GPU got physically damaged? Is there any way to check that?
