Hey guys,

About a week ago my pc fell down my desk and now it doesn't work like it used to do before it fell.
For instance when i start up a game, it's fps rate is like 50% lower than it used to be and when I start a game something starts make some sort of clicking noise but I don't know what. I also did a benchmark test with 3D Mark 11 and the score isn't what it had to be, Here is a link if you want to look: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/11756848 .The GPU score was where it had to be only the CPU score is 1/3 of what it had to be. Does this mean my CPU is broken? If it is, can I fix it or do I have to buy another one?

My specs:
GPU: Amd Radeon R9 380 4G
CPU: Intel Core I5-4460
AsRock B85 Pro4 motherbord
1 TB HDD
250 GB SSD
550 Watt Power Supply
 
Solution
Check the cpu cooler, often they come loose when jarred and thus the CPU gets hot very quickly and reduces performance in an attempt to stay cool.
