Need help: Fans suddenly start spinning very fast + FPS drops

Hello, my laptop : PC portable gaming MSI Crosshair 16 HX AI D2XWGKG-001FR 16" QHD+ 240 Hz Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 16 Go RAM 512 Go SSD

I bought it in November 2025 (it's still under warranty), and it's been acting like it does in the video for the past 4–5 months, in almost every game. I've tried all the modes in MSI Center it's the same. There's just the Silent mode (which limits me to 30 fps), but in that mode, the fans don't suddenly kick in.
Of course, I used HWiNFO to check the temperatures, and I think it's a little concerning. When I'm gaming, my CPU temperature rises to 90–100 degrees Celsius (with a peak of 105 degrees)... and Package/ring power limite exceeded and Core Thermal Throttling is on "YES". Even on the desktop, in balanced mode, the CPU is at 60 degrees Celsius.

Could the thermal paste be the problem? Do you have any ideas? I'm also waiting for a friend who's an computer technician to show up, but I might as well ask as many people as possible.

I'm in France and it's about 30 degrees inside my house, maybe that's the reason lol.

All the steelbooks from The Conjuring universe

Just look at these beauties! Thanks to my friend for making some compartments to store them!

They're arranged in chronological order within the universe.
