A few weeks back my laptop began showing frame stutters while gaming. My FPS stayed around 60 fps until suddenly it dropped to 1–3 fps for a few minutes before jumping back up. This never happened before and keeps occurring on games I’ve played for hours without issues. My machine is an Asus Vivobook Pro 14X OLED with these specs: Intel i5-11300H, 16 GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050, running Windows 11 64-bit 22h2. I've tried all common solutions—restarting, updating drivers, lowering game graphics—but nothing worked. I need some guidance on this problem.

To identify the problem, we must observe your PC’s behavior during stuttering. Please share the CPU and GPU usage percentages along with temperatures. Additionally, let us know the amount of RAM, VRAM, and available storage currently being utilized.

Thanks for the update! The performance metrics show high CPU and GPU activity, with temperatures around 85°C and 84°C respectively. RAM usage is low at 12 GB VRAM on a 2 GB SSD, which seems normal for the game. When stuttering happens, both CPU and GPU usage drop noticeably to 20–30%, and temperature falls to about 75°C. This suggests thermal throttling might be occurring, possibly due to overheating under load. I’m curious about what could have triggered this sudden change.

Consider replacing the thermal paste and purchasing a laptop cooling stand. It should resolve the problem you're experiencing.

Thank you for your input! I'm here to help you understand the issue better. Since you've used the laptop under the same conditions for over a year without problems, the sudden throttling might point to something specific that's now affecting performance. Let's explore possible reasons together.

Consider switching to a different game, as the one you're using might be demanding too many resources. This could cause your CPU to overwork and throttle. Try enabling VSync at 60 frames per second and observe any improvements.

Review the FIVR and TPL interfaces. Enable the log file feature and run a game session lasting 15 minutes. Include the generated log file in your upcoming posts. This approach will clarify the underlying reasons. Check the Nvidia GPU section within the Options window prior to beginning data collection.

Thanks for waiting. I've been busy lately and haven't played much. Below you'll find the log file and screenshots from ThrottleStop. 2024-01-28.txt

I opened up my laptop and found a lot of dust inside. I cleaned it thoroughly and checked the fans, and everything is working properly now. Thanks to everyone for their assistance!
