  Game crashes all the time and you already did all of the above = all aboard the diagnostics train as it may be a number of things, from bad graphics card driver all the way overheating problems or malfunctioning components. Do the easy steps first (clean reinstall of the graphics driver + checking temps, under heavy load, and googling what's the maximum safe temperature for your processor + graphics card, it...

• Why is my PC unbearably feeble despite having decent specs?

  Open Hardware Monitor is pretty simple and solid. Just look through all the statistics for anything that's a temperature and make sure none of them are higher than, say, 50c when idle, or ~80c when you're doing something. Laptops have a slightly wider range of acceptable temperatures so there wouldn't be any immediate cause for alarm if it was slightly hotter than that, as long as you were doing something...

  What do you use to monitor temps? I would suggest getting this https://openhardwaremonitor.org/ as it allows you to monitor all aspects of your PC, rather extensively. If you can, when you open a game, have hardware monitor open on another monitor and look at the temps of your GPU and CPU. Source: 12 months ago

• Checking for CPU bottleneck

  As a roughly decent live test, run a game on max graphics and open something like Open Hardware Monitor. Look at your CPU load vs GPU core load. If your CPUs are at 100% and your GPU isn't, your CPU is bottlenecking your GPU. Source: 12 months ago

• fps suddenly drops over 100 frames after playing for a while

  I'd suggest you download Open Hardware Monitor, launch it while playing, and when you start dropping frames, have a look at the temps and see if it really is your PC overheating. It's still good to clean out your PC and re-paste it, however you should do this first to see what the culprit is. Source: about 1 year ago
