Legion Y520 low FPS, please HELP

[FelipeF]

Greetings,

Yesterday, my game crashed during a match of CS:GO and afterwards, all my games have low FPS. I tried a clean install of windows in the SSD partition (my games are located at the 1 TB HDD), reinstall drivers, battery options, etc. Nothing worked. 

The Lenovo Diagnostics Tool reported that everything is working as intended (see report attached). Nevertheless, the FurMark test ran with 6 FPS and all my games are unplayed. In task manager says that the Geforce 1050 is in use, but the memory usage is always low (check one example attached).

Please help me, what else can I do to fix this?

Ask me if you need more information.

Thanks.

I try cleaning all the dust, still very low fps (upper-left corner). The GPU core is stuck at 600 MHz, is that normal?

I fixed it! Instead of downloading the last version of the nvidia driver, I downloaded the version from the lenovo legion y520 website. Now the clock is working as intended.

Thanks

Could you give me a link where you found the driver. I am having the same issue as you aswell.

Thanks. 

Piece of **bleep** **bleep**s with their **bleep** updates **bleep**ed everything up and my day is ruined...

The one that you linked is a really old driver. You should probably download the 417 version or whatever the one was called before this **bleep** one.
