4070 sudden frame drops, working fine until now.

Open | Hardware

Started having extreme low fps drops 10-20 while in areas that are not intensive, tried other games no to avail having same issues with them now. Only recently happened as earlier today was perfectly fine.

CPU - i9 14900HX GPU - RTX 4070 8GB Ram - 2x8gb 2800Mhz DDR5

I have tried changing resolution, lowering all settings in multiple games. I also had a look at the Nvidia settings but went over my head a bit!
