Fixed: Double checked to make sure there were no other programs running and gave laptop a thorough cleaning. Lots of dust found on fans and in vents. Everything runs fine now
I was able to run games smoothly for a few hours at ~60 fps, but then I tried running Sonic Adventure 2 and it maxed out at 15 FPS. The audio was awful and the game was stuttering so bad it was unplayable. So naturally I went back to playing the other games and the same thing happened. 15 FPS, terrible stuttering, and awful audio. No game is playable anymore.
Games that ran fine at 60 FPS:
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
PSO Episode I & II
Gauntlet Dark Legacy
Things I have tried to fix:
Running Dolphin Emulator as administrator
Restarting my laptop
Uninstalling/Reinstalling
Deleting the Dolphin Emulator folder in the Documents folder
Following every guide I could find to optimize graphic and audio settings
Running all the games as single and dual core
Ran latest dev build (5.0-9602)
Ran all stable builds (4.0 and higher)
Messed with CPU clock override settings all the way from 6% to 400%
OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Home x64
CPU: Intel Core i5-4200H @ 2.80GHz
