Hey there, I see you're dealing with some tough issues on your laptop. Let's try to figure this out together. You mentioned the CPU was acting up from the start, especially when launching games like Fortnite. It seemed like the GPU was the issue at first, but then you noticed problems with the HDD and later with the CPU itself. It sounds like there might be something in the BIOS affecting the settings. I'm here to help you sort this out—just let me know what you find next!
The reason for concern lies in the observed issues with the CPU performance.
I own an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 with an Intel Core i7 8750H. For instance, Civilization 6 works smoothly at ultra settings at 60 FPS or more. At the minimum preset it drops to 15 FPS and I can't load another round. There must be an issue since my CPU is single-core only and I can't switch it.
I noticed your question—did you mean to say the CPU has six cores? That would explain the performance difference. Let me know if you need further clarification!
Verify the actual number of cores by checking via Windows Task Manager instead of relying on a quick glance.
