Hi,
I bought a custom build computer off of a kid. I overclocked the cpu from 3.6 GHz 4.0 GHz. I have been playing games on it for a while now, and they were running very smoothly. One day I wake up and realize that i was staying below 35 fps when i normally achieve over 60. I checked AMD Overdrive and that showed the CPU has been running at a steady 1.4 GHz, and would not go even close to 3 GHz. So, I turned down the overclock on Overdrive to 3.6 GHz again, and it changed the CPU speed for about a minute before it started dropping back down to 1.4 GHz again. It is a very noticeable drop I do with everything on my computer now. Everything is laggy. I have heard that it might be a PSU problem, but I am not sure, and I want some more feedback before I just go and start buying/replacing items on my computer. Any help is greatly appreciated.
CPU: AMD FX-4100 Quad-Core
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3
4x4Gb or 16 Gb of RAM
Allied ATX 300w Switching Power Supply
AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series
