It's either hardware or software. Go back to factory conditions and try again. If fine then it's solved (although you still might have to reinstall other software and restore your data from your backup.
If it isn't solved, it's a hardware issue. Then it's time to have it repaired or buy a new one.

However, first give a link to a Speccy. Sometimes that already gives a clue. https://www.ccleaner.com/docs/speccy/using-speccy/publishing-a-speccy-profile-to-the-web tells how to make it.

Yes a Web Speccy often helps.

And I do that before the factory reset. Please add the test result of Userbenchmark.com too.

Also omitted was the laptop's age and if you keep up with maintenance. Such as the monthly canned air to the vents.
