Low FPS when gaming need hardware advice

I have a HP ENVY dv7-7212nr notebook PC (laptop) with a display of 17.3-inch diagonal Full HD Anti-glare LED-backlit display (1920 x 1080).

Long story short as the title says; I've have done literally everything except change the hardware. I've heard the problem could be the LVDS LCD LED Flex Video Screen Cable or FHD LCD Screen. I just want to know if there might be another type of hardware in my laptop that could cause this problem.

When installing games the system automatically changes the resolution to 1024x768 (this never happened). Also, if I'm gaming where there's not a lot of movement on the screen the game runs smoothly. The fps only falls when there's a lot going on, on the screen.

If you want to know what I've done here's a small list:
-over clock it
-check the fan
-change the fan
-pirate the fan so the laptop is always running at maximun (I say pirate because in this laptop you cannot control the fan's speed in BIOS.)
-update driver
-update graphics card
-update monitor
-change from windows 8.1 to 7 (windows 10 is not for this laptop. I'd updated to it once and it shutdown my laptop. I literally could not turn it on.)
-turned off antivirus software etc
-make priority one the game that's running
-tried different software boosters (for maximum performance)
... and more!

I've come to the point that I know it's a hardware problem. I just want to know, what else could cause this problem because I've never had this issue before.

Also I want to point out that I have the color issue (don't know the technical term) on the right side of my screen; where sometimes vertical color lines will appear and recently I started getting black and white lines as well. To fix this problem I have press on the bottom right of the screen for these lines to disappear.

Another thing, this is probably worth the mention: when starting up, on top of the screen there are red squared lines. I don't know what they mean but that's probably something worth mentioning.

Thank you for your time and patience.
 
Solution
Check the CPU and GPU temperatures with HWMonitor. They will throttle if they get too hot.

As for the vertical lines, that's a separate issue entirely. Most often that's caused by a faulty LCD panel or the mylar ribbon cable has started to separate from the panel itself. Pressing on the screen will complete the circuit and make the issue go away. You're looking at needing either the panel or cable replaced in most cases.
