    Hey everyone, I have Alienware 15 ANW15-1421SLV 15.6-Inch Gaming Laptop and for the past couple of weeks the performance has dropped. League of Legends dropped from 100+ FPS to 20-30.
    It's just all around slow.
    Any help?

    Need more details. Your laptop spec (CPU and GPU), and most importantly the temperature when the FPS drop happened
