Computer slow down on games

While playing game the game starts to slow/ down and lag i see the temperature lowers quite a bit , but it spikes back to where it was.
Any suggestions: temperature down below, sort of like my fps drops and returns to normal

Malware running in the background, like a botnet or bitcoin miner, can really eat up resources. If MB and Avast both found something, Quarantine and remove it asap, reboot because why not, and try playing again. Tell us if it works fine.

Your temperatures look fine.

What game are you playing? Any thing else you'd like to share that may be relevant to figuring out what's going on?
