Need help figuring problem with fps/gpu

Hmm, there's a number of possible reasons for this.

What is the make/model of laptop, how old is it, specifications - graphics chip, cpu, memory, OS, etc.

I would begin by checking the following:

Has there been any updates to the OS/drivers recently?
Any new applications installed?
Check for Background processes.
Check temperatures of Graphics Card and CPU. (Clear out any air vents, etc)
Run a game file repair.
Run diagnostics on memory and disks.

I'm currently reinstalling the game to see if that works. I just recently cleared the fans I even have those fan thingy you put your laptop on to cool it down more.

It sounds to me, that the CPU overheats and then it throttles the clockrates down to prevent damage. If your CPU fan is clean and the problem still persists, then you should renew the thermal paste.
