What causes a computer that previously performed well to suddenly malfunction?
My computer’s gaming performance is poor. Despite updating the BIOS and verifying my RAM, the issues persist. I'm experiencing frame rates approximately around 90 in CS:GO, followed by frequent dips below 60 (refer to the attached video settings). My central processing unit doesn't overheat significantly, reaching a maximum of 85 degrees Celsius for brief moments – typically it remains at 75. I recently upgraded my graphics card, and it’s possible that a background process, specifically Windows Defender Application Guard, is contributing to the problem. I previously performed a complete reinstall of Windows, which temporarily resolved the issue, but it subsequently returned after another restart. Restarting my entire system again reproduced the problem immediately. It could potentially involve my hard drive, or perhaps a downloaded program such as Logitech G HUB. I have also disabled all non-essential startup programs, with the exception of Logitech G HUB due to its function for controlling my mouse.

make and model of the psu?
what the cpu/gpu temp and usage during the game?
ram/hdd usage during the game?
I'm experiencing the same problem. My game frame rates have plummeted from 90-145 fps to 30-45, and my temperatures are spiking to 90°C, causing the system to shut down unexpectedly. It’s quite perplexing how this has suddenly occurred. People are suggesting I examine the thermal paste, but my laptop is only a year old and I suspect it’s a problem with system settings or software configuration.
I can’t recall precisely, but I do remember it exhibiting poor thermal performance. The front pane of glass needed to be removed because it was pressing up against the cooling fans.
