Are these drops in games you had already been playing or new ones?

 

[gamer2321]

IF the frame rate is dropping in newer games then it is because of your incapable hardware to play newer games if it is the same games then it is most likely an overheating issue use
HW monitor:

and send a screen shot so we can analyze the temperatures

according to intels website :
http://ark.intel.com/products/53426/

the maximum cpu temp is 69.1C
then i strongly recomend you get you to clean inside your computer, you can send it to a place to get serviced or you could do it yourself if your willing to do so i can give you sme tips

I would also download and install malwarebyte to make sure nothing is infecting your pc causing you issues.

So all in all do all of your stuff and inform us in time if your lags disappear

Disk cleanup and Disk Defrag are also good ideas if it has been awhile since you last done them. Low HDD space and heavily fragmented can cause issues. With only 4gb ram, I would imagine your HDD's pagefile gets hit up for extra memory.

so i cleaned my computer and i ran malwarebytes (it found no viruses) and its still the same.. before i could play league with 300-400 fps (without v sync on) and now i get around 150. at times it goes a little below 60 too
