Framerate drop in games and Wifi issue

Hello all, when I am in-game the GPU utilization drops to 1-5% then my framerate drops to 1-10 every 10-30 seconds. I've tried this in multiple games and tried different graphic settings but no change at all. Games run perfectly until I try and do an action for example in rocket league it always seems to happen as I'm about to hit the ball or enshrouded when I try and jump. Tested it in grounded too and it was almost unplayable. I've tried on both dGPU and the integrated one but same issue. Everything is updated to latest drivers as far as I can tell and windows update is up to date. Temps also sgtay consistent around 75 - 85 in game on full settings. I also tried playing in office mode and limtied FPS to 60 and it still continued to do it, even though GPU utilization was only around 70% and temps not above 75.

I usually use a monitor but I am currently down visiting family, so I only have the laptop screen but this is the only real change I've made in the last day, if this would really cause any issue?

Wifi problem is very intermittent but has been happening far too regularly recently. Essentially it'll drop me off the internet but still say connected, but when trying to load any webpages it will say "connect to the internet" page as if I had disconnected. This usually drops me from any online game, but strangely it doesn't disconnect me from discord calls so I could still speak with my mates even though no other internet was working.
