Hi @emreyy,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd be happy to help you!
It is normal to experience such significant CPU voltage drops and FPS drops while gaming, especially on a new laptop.
However, Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:
Check Power Settings:
- Ensure that your laptop is set to high-performance mode in the power settings.
- Disable any power-saving features that might be causing the CPU to throttle.
Update Graphics Drivers:
- Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. You can download the latest drivers from the AMD or NVIDIA website, depending on your GPU.
Update BIOS:
- Check if there's a BIOS update available for your laptop and install it. Sometimes BIOS updates can improve system stability and performance.
Check Background Processes:
- Close any unnecessary background processes and applications that might be consuming CPU resources.
Monitor Temperatures:
- Use a tool like HWMonitor or MSI Afterburner to monitor the temperatures of your CPU and GPU while gaming. High temperatures can cause throttling.
Check for Malware:
- Run a full system scan with your antivirus software to check for any malware that could be affecting performance.
Reset Graphics Settings:
- In CS:GO, reset your graphics settings to default and then gradually increase them to see if the issue persists.
Contact HP Support:
- If none of the above steps resolve the issue, consider contacting HP phone support for further assistance. There could be a hardware issue with your laptop that needs to be addressed.
Please let me know if you need further assistance or if you have any other questions.
