Aurora R12, random performance drop?

So, I was playing on my Alienware Aurora R12, experiencing no issues at all, and then I went to go get breakfast. When I came back my computer completely stopped being decent, it was getting low fps, averaging about 20 fps on games such as Minecraft with 32 chunks and fast graphics. I am aware that it isn't water cooling as I would've seen smoke or some substance like smoke coming out of it, due to if it was that there was no water I would've seen it evaporating, and it did not, now my 700 dollar laptop is better then my 2600 dollar desktop, my monitor is a dell gaming 27 monitor, so I don't believe its the refresh rate.

Update=Resolved-problem resolved, the gpu was slightly out of place + some thermal paste got off (so i replaced it)
