Hello everybody, I'm a new comer to this site, I just need some assistance for this problem.

First of all, please accept my apologize that English is not my first language, so my grammar is pretty bad and I'm not really good at expressing my thoughts to others, hope you all can forgive me about this.
Secondly, I want to thank you if you are thinking about help me out, I am very appreciated it. :D

So, let's get to the point.

It was just 4 days ago, since I last play this game, I opened 6 tabs of Chrome and listened to music and played the game at the same time, the FPS was just fine at about 100-150, even in a big firefight, with High Quality settings, DirectX9+.
Please note that I am using a laptop, and I've set my battery power option to "High Performance". And here are some pictures of my spec:

But today, I have encountered a problem which is my TF2's FPS dropped down to 10 and it just stuck at there, not moving a single bit.

I've already tried these options, but none of them work, still that 10FPS:
- Lowered the settings by using Chris's highframes config.
- Verified integrity cache, got 2 files missing, but Steam downloaded them already.
- Removed all the custom files, run the game, then added it back in again.
- Restarted both Steam and my PC.
- Changed the DirectX level to 80 and 81 (in the Set Launch Options tab), but the FPS increased only a bit, approximately to 28FPS.

If anyone can help me out with this, I would be very appreciate! :D

P/s: I'm living in hell now, cause just started grinding the hardest soldier jump map and shits like this already happened. :/

Looking at the screenshots, I noticed your custom cfg files (Scout, Soldier, Regen, and so on) are located in the root cfg folder:

...\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\cfg

instead of a custom cfg folder that TF2 would scan. For example:

...\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom\my_custom_stuff\cfg

Moving them to the correct directory may not fix your 10 fps problem, but it would be a good start.

Putting your cfg in custom as opposed to the root cfg folder just means steamcloud won't mess with it. (and it loads first) However it might be that you have config in both directories that have a conflict.

Hey, btw, I got these command lines after clicking on then shut away the "Options" button.

This is something screwing up with the textures, try defragmenting the game files and veryfing them, that may help

You're having some issues loading certain UI textures.

Try either going back to the default TF2 UI. You could also check and see if you've got Optimus on the laptop, and if so, see if your integrated GPU is the one running TF2. In your system tray, you should have a notification that looks like this:

http://users.wfu.edu/yipcw/lenovo/2011/w520/images/w520-optimus-tray-1.gif

It should look like the bottom image, not the top image. There should be a Half-Life 2 logo in that list. If so, you're fine, otherwise, tell me.

What are your temps? Sounds like it could be thermal throttling.

Also, have you tried reinstalling/upgrading/downgrading your drivers?
