1.My computer has been working great for the past couple of weeks but after opening it I could smell some kinda burnt smell and it was coming from my cpu/heatsink! Anyone know a good program to monitor it?

2. My fps has been really unstable pass week also and I have no clue what's going on so could anyone help?

Msi - 7778 Motherboard
Amd A8 5500 Cpu
8gb Crucial 1333hz ram
Corsair cx500 psu
Gtx 750ti Ftw Edition gpu
Asus vg248qe aat 144hz monitor
A total of 4 corsair high performance led fans

Will upgrade mobo/cpu/psu in the near future but stuck with this for now. The first time I installed everything I was getting great fps like 200-300fps cs go low settings , 250-350 League of legends low settings but everyday I feel like I get more shutters or lower fps by bits. So if anyone could help me with any these please do!

 
Solution
I would use a led flashlight and look real close for any melted fan wires or power wires or parts on the mb and gpu.
if you have a local computer shop or tv shop that you know..have them check the power supply voltage outputs. if there to high it may be cooking your rig. if it not a power supply issue all you can do now is rma the mb and cpu together for safety.

Thanks for the reply!
Still don't know whats the problem! Im sure my gpu isn't the issue as its fairly new and I can overclock it to around 1450 mhz and I tried out Speedfans program and the temps for my gpu and cpu while i game are :
GPU : 25~50C
CPU : Under 20C
any other info/temp you want?
