Fps drops in Overwatch with lower speeds (in GHz)Please help

I have had this issue for a while now and have searched online for many fixes ( high priority, deleting certain files, using a high performance power plan and even turning all game settings to the very minimum) but I still cannot get a stable frame rate. One second it will be 70 fps, the next it will be 40 and it is starting to affect my gameplay a lot more nowadays.
I used a 64 bit windows 10 laptop with 8GB of RAM and the specs are: Intel Core i5 - 52000 CPU @ 2.20 GHz. I understand this is not a gaming computer or anything like that but seeing as I won't be able to get a new one any time soon it would be really helpful if anybody could come up with a solution for me

Last Note: Just in case it matters, the place where I viewed the speed of it is task manager performance tab

Merry Christmas! What are you using for a GPU and power supply unit. Please give brand name, model and wattage. Thanks.

Telling me the make and model or your laptop will help find what your GPU is. I didn't notice it was a laptop so PSU isn't important yet.

Which drivers do you recommend that I download from that page, because I don't want to accidentally download something that might mess up or slow down my computer. :)

This is a simple trick that often cures a lot of different problems. Turn off the computer/Unplug/remove the battery/hold the power button for 30 seconds/reinstall battery/plug in (if wanted) and try. This clears the capacitors and can solve a lot of issues.

There should be a latch door underneath with the battery. This is a laptop isn't it? if not there is no battery so skip that step.

yeah there are only screwdriver holes to take the bottom of the laptop off entirely. https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/ae/en/...ops/z41-70/80k5/80k5003fax/mp07yu8m/downloads Just in case it helps I did some more research and found the specific model of the laptop (although not sure if it's different from the one you showed me.
