Normal laptops are not built for gaming So it’s likely that over time the more you played The more strain it put on your CPU causing it to develop wear and tear

cursed_tragicOPβ€’9mo ago
it was a sudden drop

But he was 60 fps fine last time means this is a graphical issue rn, prob his memory ram on his GPU being clogged or his CPU is overusing from apps he download etc

I’m not exactly sure what it could be but I know laptops are quite sensitive

Usually require PC debugging for the issue, but ion think the issue is that serious

Valorant can be ran on a majority of PCS but it’s still a laptop

in the ss of your task manager it looked like you had a lot of background processes, and for a laptop like yours 280 can be a heck of a lot.. so i'd suggest closing many of them from the background and your ram usage was at 60% without val so check the usage while in a valorant game, deathmatch f.e
cursed_tragic
cursed_tragicOPβ€’9mo ago
nah i fixed it just needed a clean reset and my sanity...
