Framerate drop on gtx 1050 every 2 minutes

[Potato_312]

Ever since I bought the laptop the GeForce 1050 has been the same, after 15 minutes of gaming the framerate drops to literally 2 and unplayable for 10 seconds, and then it happens each minute. I've had the laptop for 3 years and it's been a recurring problem. I've looked up tutorials and every single thing I could do to fix it, and none of them have ever worked. my laptop came with another graphics card too, and AMD Radeon Vega 8 and that one has a consistent frame rate, but it only runs at the worst settings of each games and only at like 25-30 fps at most. This is my first time contacting support, since all I've been doing is watching tutorials so hopefully if your reading this you could give me a solution.
