Hi, this is my first post here. I've looked through previous threads and found what may be the issue, but I'm not too knowledgeable on computers and my PC is a notebook, not built. Anyway, there is only 2 things that happened before this issue started - a Windows 8.1 update and dropping my computer. I'm pretty sure the latter is the cause.
I have an ASUS notebook with a GTX 860m and i7 4700hq processor. For months of playing overwatch (low graphics, display based FPS) it's always ran at ~70 celcius running at a constant 60 fps due to display based mode. After I dropped the notebook, the temperature never goes above 53 celcius and the FPS constantly fluxes between 20-60. I've even see it go above 70 in display based mode...
I used HWMonitor to check my CPU temps and my browsing value is ~60 celcius and jumps all the way to 80+ when launching overwatch. The GPU temp is very low and won't go up. The fans are also working so I don't think fans are involved with the problem.
If something happened with the CPU cooling system when I dropped the notebook, what do you recommend I do? I'm pretty sure the source of the problem is extremely high CPU temperatures.
Please let me know what you think could be a solution. I have GPUZ/CPUZ/etc if you need more information. Also, I'd be glad to learn about the technical part of the issue. Assuming the drop caused an issue, let me know how to figure out exactly what it affected and how I can solve it with a notebook. Thank you.
