Im not sure how to fully describe my problem, i hope i can provide this screenshot to answer it.

Last night my PC ran fine and playing games smooth. I put it to sleep when i went to bed and when i woke up my pc ran very sluggish this has never happened before. I booted up a game and massive stutter and my FPS is not what it should be at. I think its my CPU but not fully sure

Nvidia gtx 960 and a i5 4570. Everything is updated. This just happened out of the blue

If your computer is overheating, here are some things you can do about it:
Dust Out Your Computer’s Case: Dust accumulates in desktop PC cases and even laptops over time, clogging fans and blocking air flow. This dust can cause ventilation problems, trapping heat and preventing your PC from cooling itself properly. Be sure to clean your computer’s case occasionally to prevent dust build-up. Unfortunately, it’s often more difficult to dust out overheating laptops.
Ensure Proper Ventilation: Put the computer in a location where it can properly ventilate itself. If it’s a desktop, don’t push the case up against a wall so that the computer’s vents become blocked or leave it near a radiator or heating vent. If it’s a laptop, be careful to...

CPU is too hot
Do you use desktop?
Did you overclocked you CPU?
I suggest for you to check if there is any dirt on CPU
and also check for the thermal paste
and see if the CPU cooler fan is working properly

If it’s a desktop, don’t push the case up against a wall so that the computer’s vents become blocked or leave it near a radiator or heating vent. If it’s a laptop, be careful to not block its air vents, particularly when doing something demanding. For example, putting a laptop down on a mattress, allowing it to sink in, and leaving it there can lead to overheating — especially if the laptop is doing something demanding and generating heat it can’t get rid of.
Check if Fans Are Running: If you’re not sure why your computer started overheating, open its case and check that all the fans are running. It’s possible that a CPU, graphics card, or case fan failed or became unplugged, reducing air flow.
Tune Up Heat Sinks: If your CPU is overheating, its heat sink may not be seated correctly or its thermal paste may be old. You may need to remove the heat sink and re-apply new thermal paste before reseating the heat sink properly. This tip applies more to tweakers, overclockers, and people who build their own PCs, especially if they may h
