Hello so this week ive encountered a framerate problem with my Predator 15 laptop 

At first it ran DOOM with 60 fps then it slowly drops to 0. This all started this week where I started to use Adobe After Effects for one of my projects and Im starting to think its the cause of this.
Im very new to all of this and i just need to know how to stop it so please help me out. :anguished:

    Did you go to the sticky thread and look under FPS drops and try out any of those solutions? Here is it copied from the post.

    These are solutions you can do to either: stop FPS drops, or improve FPS/Performance. Do one step and test until your FPS drops stop. 
    Post below which step fixed the FPS drops.
    1. Go to Settings > Gaming, and disable Game bar, Game DVR, and Game Mode.
    2. Update NVIDIA Drivers from nvidia.com, and Uninstall GeForce Experience.
    3. Update your BIOS to the latest version.
    4. Update the Intel Graphics adapters to latest by: right-clicking the start menu, opening Device Menu, expand Display Drivers, and right-click the Intel(R) HD and update drivers.
    5. Uninstall any 3rd-party screen recording/overlay software.
    6. Uninstall any 3rd-party anti-virus software (e.g. Norton, McAfee, etc.) or cleaning/monitoring software (e.g. CCleaner, Glary Utilities, etc.)
    *Note*
    Refer to the GPU Settings post for graphics settings options.

    @Skelomorph thanks for answering
    Adobe after effects was already closed at the time i was playing games. I even restarted my laptop to check if it would fix the framerate of the videogames but it didnt tho. Yet when i launch after effects it runs normally. The extreme framerate drop happens only when i play games.
    Also the link only lead to my own discussion.

    update:
    ive deleted adobe after effects and restarted my laptop. The framerate still drops so i guess its not after effects
