Hello,
so basically i have my Gaming Laptop for 2 Years now.
Its a Legion 5 with GTX 1650 and Ryzen 7.
It can handle pretty big games with pretty good fps but since a couple of months playing on my Laptop feels like playing on a laptop made in McDonalds.
My Laptop got alot slower all of a sudden, im getting huge fps drops in every game i play, even in small games like League of Legends, Rocket League, ...
Im getting 10-30 fps in league of legends with low settings, which isnt normal..
I also played Ready or Not where i only got 30 fps on low settings.
Im scared, because i really dont know what the problem might be.
Its frustrating not being able to play any game without having huge fps drops.
I do all Windows Updates, i always update my Drivers.
Please if anyone can help me, im begging you because i cant seem to find the problem.
Thanks.

Which is just asking for trouble.

Once Windows has been installed, you install the necessary drivers for the MB and other hardware and then leave well alone, drivers should not be allowed to auto update and you should never update any driver/s unless the new drivers are intended to resolve a specific issue that you are having, installing new drivers unnecessarily can actually cause you the very issues that any new drivers are intended to resolve and uninstalling the new drivers may not resolve the problem/s that installing the new drivers has caused.

Depending on priority it can take many months before the driver provider releases any fix and depending on the age of the hardware or software concerned they sometimes do not even bother or may have already announced an end of support.

The exact same policy applies to the BIOS, do not update it unless it is advised by the manufacturer of the hardware or alternatively if it is to allow for a CPU upgrade.

Updating things for no reason has a 50/50 chance of bricking your computer, don`t gamble unless you can (A) Do without the computer (B) have loads of spare cash and can buy a new one with no problem or (C) Both of the previous.

It’s definitely not a virus. Why would a member a this forum infect your computer with a virus? Take a look around the forum. These logs are requested by the staff here on a daily basis, the programs give us information about your computer, which we use to help you. But that is your choice. 👍

What is telling you that the speccy scan is a virus?

I have used that program over the past 6 years and have had zero issues. As @Malnutrition has stated have a look around the forum and look at other forums.

Might try downgrading drivers back to the level they were before this happened like @phillpower2 stated there is a 50/50 chance that updating drivers can have the opposite effect.
