so basically last week or so my computer spat out an error when starting it saying i had usb over current, and i looked at the case fan on the top of the computer and it was physically broken
i have no idea why it was broken so i ordered another one and just called it a week
anyway, my computer after me putting that case fan in has been having this weird issue
sometimes it will happen randomly and it doesnt matter which game im playing, but i'll just experience a complete slowdown, for example in minecraft today i was playing on a server, and i had the fps window open
all of a sudden (after 1-2 hours of working normally) the fps in the top left goes down to 30 after being at a constant 200-300
then it goes down lower, to 10
my computer starts slowing down immensely, discord starts lagging and everyones voice sounds robotic
i try to move my mouse to get to task manager and it goes down to 1 fps in minecraft, and the computer completely halts and freezes, requiring me to hard restart
i have no idea whats doing this because it doesnt seem that it would overheat, the only things i did was
-dust out the GPU, due to really large amounts of dust on the gpu fans
-dust out the case fans, the cpu cooler (im doing all of this with compressed air)
-install a new case fan and unplug the cable leading to the problematic usb 3.0 port, allowing my computer to start
all is fine and well but this problem just randomly happens out of nowhere and sometimes leads to me losing work on maps and whatnot
i have no idea why this is doing this since its just literally out of nowhere and randomly happens
can anyone help?
