Its a sh*t pc in the first place, but yesterday, i can still run dark souls at 900p 30 fps. Now it stutters and fps drops everytime on 720p. It started lagging last night, but i played for a long time so i thought it was overheating. This morning i expected it to run normal but its still laggy af.

For more info, my gpu is ati radeon hd5500, i've updated the driver to crimson 1 days prior to this. It ran normal after updated tho

This actually happened to me on an old laptop i had. I used it for heavy gaming but it wasnt made for gaming. One day i booted it up and it was something like 20% slower than it was brand new. Is it an old pc? Is there any malware on it?
