Hi,
I am having heavy lag while playing games (max payne 3 at the moment) after 5 mins of play BUT this never happened before.
I haven't used my pc for almost a year and now when I have holidays I wanted to play again but I'm having this ussue PLUS my pc is very dusty so can cleaning it solve this problem?

It's an old system
core 2 duo 3 ghz
ati radeon R7 240 boost
4gb ddr2 RAM
But as I said I didn't have lag before when I played it so it's not that my specs aren't able to handle it
