Hello. Till few days ago, (until I returned to home in Roumania from Sicily) i have 70-80 fps in HoN (Heroes of Newerth). From first sec. I had some problems with lag(from startup , when I opened any folder/program) , longer loading time in game, and much lower FPS (32). I haven't thermal paste for CPU, but it have less than 60 degrees celsius. I tried a lot of stress test programs, but everything seems to be ok, but it isn't. By time to time , it get blocked when is in loading (a game) ( or when i open the store in HoN). I have no idea what is going on. Anyone , help!. Sorry for my english :(  , i will learn it better.

This most likely does not have anything to do with how you applied thermal compound to your CPU. However, it is most likely a driver issue. Try updating your GPU drivers and see what happens.

i used the lastest driver, now i tried an beta driver. but i think it's not from GPU, at low set or high set. exacly the same fps. I stoped catalyst , still the same.

So what GPU are you using, also what motherboard and CPU are you using? Does your system get noticeably hot when you play games?

GPU : sapphire 7770 , CPU : A3-5300 , MODO : FM2A55M-DGS , 2x 4g 1600 RAM , i stressed all of them and just GPU got hotter than 60 degrees. I can't understand what's going on, Can it be from hdd, it is 100% used in sturtup for 5 mins. but to reduce fps from 70 to 35?! so strange

Since I don't have your PC in front of me, the first test would be to physically take out your GPU and run off the on board video. Since you're using an APU you can do so by enabling it in the BIOS. Do that and see if temperatures remain steady. Chances are good it could be the GPU that's causing your system to overheat.

temperatures are fine. let me give u another exemple : when i open google chrome, it takes 3 sec. until returning from sicily, it tooks less than 1 sec. -.- there should be a hdd problem or CPU. But can hdd reduce fps in gaming!?

No hard drives usually don't have anything to do with FPS or CPU temperatures. They do affect load times however, if your game is loading very slowly it might be time to back up your data and do a full reformat and reinstallation of Windows.
