so i've been having my pc for over 1 year now and it hasn't gave me any problems until a week ago.
When i launch a game up it either lags in the loading screen or in-game but this also occurs when Im using video editing software or any other graphic demanding software.i dont know whats the problem i have updates all the driver, ran anti virus software, cleaned out the dust, and even defragged my hard drive.
my pc hasn't done this before it usually runs smooth.
my pc: cpu- amd a-8 7600k apu /with a hyper t 2 cpu cooler
motherboard- gigabyte f2a68hm-h
psu- evga 430w
ssd- kingston ssd
hdd- western digital blue
ram- g skill ripjaw 2x4gb ddr3 2133
 
Solution
71 is the shutdown temp. This is your issue. It's slowing down to not melt itself. I suspect a new CPU cooler would fix your issue
