So, as you can see in the title, I'm having issues with my Alienware m14x R2 (I bought it when I didn't know much about PCs, and it came with flashy lights). I've tested this on Skyrim, Minecraft, modded Minecraft and Valley Benchmark 1.0. Skyrim's load screens have gotten significantly longer, and I've noticed stuttering and general fps loss. In Minecraft, I'm getting 150-200 fps where I used to get over 1,000, so it's a very significant loss of performance there. Finally, my Valley benchmarks scores haven't dropped too much (From 660 to 600 on the Extreme Preset).
I've cleaned out the fans, re-installed nVidia's and Intel's drivers, but to no avail. The performance I'm getting is equal to what I'd get if the games were running on the Integrated Graphics, but I've checked, and that's not the case. Being 14, I really don't have enough money to build myself a nice rig right now, so I could appreciate any help.
Oh, and Specs:
i7-3630QM 2.4Ghz
nVidia GT 650M
16GB of DDR3 1600Mhz RAM.
Again, all help is much appreciated.
