Hey Guys.

So i have a sapphire R9 280x Vapor-x Version. Its 2 years old now. I was cleaning my PC and after putting the the card back in started the game and the computer restarted. I started it and again it happened so i was like something happened to gpu. I removed it, cleaned the card and reinserted it. It was working but now whenever i run any game, doesn't matter which settings it lags. Like 5-10 fps only. I dont know what to do. I have searched online and there aren't any solutions. I thought maybe the card was getting hot and but the temperature remains in 60-ish. So i don't think its related to temperature. So im asking if anyone knows whats going on or does anyone have any solution for this dilemma.

My computer specs are :
i5 4570
1 tb hdd
thermaltake dps G 750W.
Msi H97 gaming.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

you might have moved the cpu cooler


5-10 fps is usually due to cpu throttling

But bro it has been working fine in the past. Its only after cleaning the rig did it start having this problem.
