i have an asus rog gl552jx gaming laptop with the folowing specs-
nvidia 950m gtx 2gb
intel i7 4720hq
12 gb ram
1tb hdd, 128gb ssd
the laptop is 2 years old and it workd really well for the first year. I could play most of the games at good frame rates including heavy games like gta5 and fallout 4. But since a year the performance of my laptop has gone down significantly to the point that it lags even while i play a 50mb java game. I mainly play dota 2 and i get hardly 20-25 fps in that in lowest possible settings whereas at the beginning i would get 60-70 fps at ultra settings. I even checked the task manager while the game is on and my cpu , memory and gpu usage is below 30% which means my latop isnt overclocking yet it cannot run the games properly. I have tried every possible solution from clean installing os again, to reinstalling nvidia drivers. I am really out of options. Can anybody please help me

u might have to replace ur thermal paste if it is a heating problem. Use msi after burner or anything and check the temps. when the laptop is running too hot the cpu downclock itself to cool down.

It is in high performance mode. And yes the laptop does heat up but how do i check temperature? And how can heating up cause such low gaming performance? Also what is the solution for overheating?

I will try replacing thermal paste. And yes i have selected nvidia graphics card while playing. It also shows usage of nvidia graphics while gaming in Task manager. Still the game has such low fps rates. Its unplayable. Also i checked for the temperatures in msi afterburner. They are constant at about 60-65 while the game is running.
