Hey all, last 2 weeks my computer has begun to slow down occasionally during games, namely overwatch/dota 2 and sometimes apex legends.
Symptoms: My mouse will continue the movement it was doing for half a second or just freeze up, the whole computer will also drastically slow down for half a second. I suspected high cpu temps (i have a 1070 ti) after watching resource monitor.
I checked the inside of the my computer and the connections seem fine and the aftermarket fan on the cpu seems like it's still running. I didn't have this problem the first 11 months I had the system but have been transporting it back and forth between locations about 10 times this year.
Any ideas on a fix? I'm right in assuming it's the CPU correct?
