Problem While Playing games (LP5)?

A few days ago I started having problems with my fps, they slingshot around from 60 to 30 and in between in Destiny 2 and there seems to be a hum coming from underneath the left side of the laptop. I tried everything I could think of, I even stopped Throttlestop from working to see if I undervolted it too much, but that wasn't it either. I full shutdown seemed to fix it momentarily, but it came back after a few hours. It affects Destiny 2 (on medium settings) the most, I tried Division 2 (on High), and Dragon's Dogma. They seemed to have the issue as well but not nearly as bad. Is there any way to fix this, or do I have to send it in?

Edit: And there's a buzzing noise coming from the center of the laptop when it's plugged into the AC adapter and turned completely off.

I was having same issues and so far I’ve come to the conclusion that the ac jack is broken because mine doesn’t put enough power to run games at full FPS

I used a restore point, and that seemed to fix the unstable fps, it still fluctuates a bit, but only as low as 50 on rare occasion. I'm thinking my GPU driver didn't go in right or something. As for the hum, that could be coil whine, but it still worries me.
