I just opened up Heroes and generals... a not so cpu heavy game... which i used to run with 200 fps and 50% cpu usage, now i run the game with 100% usage and 60fps with the game freezing alot.... the temprature of my pc hits 70celcius even though it ran with 50 celcius before... why is this happening? do i just need to do one of my routine pc cleanings? where i dust the pc off inside?

I would suggest evicting the dust bunnies and hairballs then and seeing if the system returns to its former cool-running, higher levels of performance.

You should also scan your system for malware/viruses and look at your startup apps to make sure there are no unintended apps/programs stealing away performance.

Good luck.
