GPU/CPU throttling/stuttering issue.

Here are the details for my ASUS Laptop:

CPU - Intel i5 - 7200U @2.5 GHz
RAM - 8192 MB
Intergrated Graphics - Intel HD graphics 620
Dedicated - Nvidia GeForce 940MX

The issue only occurs when I choose to run a game on the GPU (NVidia High performance processor) and does NOT occur when I choose to run the game on integrated graphics. The issue occurs every 1 minute or so in game where the fps will drop to 5 for around 20 seconds and then go back to 60fps. I am pretty sure this would constitute as throttling/stuttering.

Here are the graphs from MSI Afterburner:

As you can see from the graph, the throttling happened 2 times during the time recorded. The CPU jumped from 30-40% usage to 100% usage during the throttling. However, the temperature for both CPU and GPU hovers around 60-75 which I don't think is extreme.

The things I have tried so far:

- uninstalling and reinstalling the GPU driver.
- overclocking/underclocking
- lowering the settings in game (this happens even on the lowest settings for league of legends.)
- Using a cooling pad under the laptop.

Its also worth noting that is issue seems to be intermittent. When I played League yesterday on the GPU there was no throttling. But the majority of the time the issue is present.

Can anyone suggest any solution?

Thanks for reading :-)
