hey guys, did anyone faced this kind of problems in your alienware m14x ?

For example when I would launch watchdogs, SC2, or war thunder, I would have about 60 fps while playing at medium but suddenly, i booted up my laptop yesterday, the FPS would drop drastically to about 30~40 fps. and sometimes 20 fps or below
I also noticed that whenever I would have high fps the fan on my M14x would spin fast and produce a noticeable loud sound (like the fan operating on a desktop) and now, the fan just spinning like its walking in the park! and did not even produce a noticeable loud sound....

Also prior to this post I have also tried several methods such as adjusting the settings on Nvidia.( Adjusting the 3D setting on Nvidia to suit the best performance), adjusting the battery to high performance, but nothing change.....

i need help now... anyone with this experience can help me?

just to add on, my m14x temp while gaming would normally shift between 40~75 MAX and now it only shift between 40~61 or 59 MAX

my m14x spec,
GeForce GT 650M
i7-3630QM
8gb
driver ver. 337.88

i dont think my computer is over heating as the temp fluctuate from 40~70 or at out-door i would getting 80 but now it just maintaining at 40~60 MAX! and the fps is not up to as it should performed
and i do believe that my temp is a healthy temp no? all temp are recorded not under air-cond condition

if it yes, than do you know how to switch it back?

i already have done that and its still the same

i have tryied what he say and still the same results and about click on the games' exe and select 'run it with nvidia gpu'....... because on putochip123 settings, everything is on nvidia GPU already and yes iam plug in (not using battery) as i know using battery while gamming will sometimes shutdown the PC anytime like SNAP!

erm.... watch anime.... surf facebook..... play some mousehunt.... some games... (it still works fine)
i suspect the AC adeptor might be the culprit? faulty maby? but it still supply power just fine? hmmm....

how to test it is faulty or not?

what if adaptor power showing 150w and i unplug it out and plug it in back and it show UNKNOWN? is it my adeptor GG?

is it expensive to replace it?
