I have HP Pavilion Power 15-cb527tx with i7 7700hq and 4 GB GTX 1050.
I am experiencing high FPS drops on all games with my Pavilion Power cb527tx.I have tried almost everything like updating drivers[HP official drivers],updating Windows,downgrading the drivers to the very first driver from HP, Updating the BIOS,Downgrading the BIOS(Couldn't downgrade),Setting Performance mode on Windows,NVIDIA and Intel settings,Vsync Off,Unpacking CPU,Game DVR off and none of them worked
In Intel XTU,I always see Current limit throttling ON, Temperatures are above 90 when gaming and 60 when idle.RAM doesn't fill up

This is your issue, most likely the motherboard doesnt allow go past 90*C like my GA-EP45-UD3R wouldn't do when I overclocked (Yes Im comparing apples to oranges, but same box).

Dust off your Laptop, replace thermal paste and you're good to go (If you Know how to do).
If you don't Know how to do, take it to reputable repair shop, let them do it, usually withn half hour is done or next day, depends how busy they are.

Other variant is to limit your FPS via Rivatuner (Needs to be installed with MSI Afterburner).

In notification tab, there will be small blue box, open it by clicking on it.
Then where says 00, thats FPS cap, limit to 45 or 35fps, and tick turn on/enable riva...

For monitoring temps use Hwinfo64, by watching temperature of CPU, you watch the MAX, if it goes red and under shows this https://ibb.co/kPBsUz
As RED it throttled.
