Omen Laptop extremely slow, nothing loads, cpu always at 100 %

[tgun2323]

I Downloaded Terraria off of steam and out of nowhere my pc became extremely slow to the point where nothing loads and I managed to get task manager open and checked that cpu was at 100% meanwhile everything else was way lower. When i click on things i will get a very delayed response or the chosen action won't load. I checked the troubleshooter when booting and it said ram, cpu, and battery was fine but i am skeptical. Also, i later recieved a message on my screen saying" unsupported graphics card: There is a problem with your graphics card" and another message saying that some memory could not be read. I could really use some help with this, thanks. I aslo hear wierd clicking noises when the fan is on or when i move my laptop from side to side.

1)the product number is 15-ax033dx

2)Besides troubleshooting the hardware, nothing really. I tried uninstalling terraria through settings but it wasn't working.

3) The issue arrived on December 10th 2018.

I am going to hard reset the laptop and see if it fixed itself, will let u know what happens.
