So every now and then my computer becomes slow and when I press show hidden icons ( the up arrow) beside date and time it's just blank and it shows its loading up but nothing shows if I press print screen button it shows up but when I move my cursor over it has a different icon name and does it for most. Recently I had a bad config blue screen happen. Im also running display driver Uninstaller to see if the on board vga is interfering with things. Also I've recently bought new mobo and new cpu and new ram and I just built it but I'm so confused why this other stuff is happening

You do realize that you can see your temps VIA MSI After burner or ASUS's GPU drivers for the GPU..Right? Or ASUS's GPU Tweak tool as well I believe (Haven't used it, but Zotac's GPU tool list the temps and such)

If your temps aren't that high at all (below 80'C usually) you shouldn't be experiencing any issues in performance at all. Unless it could be either a driver issue (Make sure your Nvidia drivers are up to date, Don't install the ones off of ASUS's website, if you did, Uninstall them pronto, and install the updated version off of Nvidia's website)

To much thermal paste on the CPU won't cause any damage, as for the GPU, to much thermal paste STILL won't cause any damage really. JayTwoCents made a video about this particular...

Yeah I defintiely did it, I did it once but installed the wrong one, I had PRO installed but my digital licence was connected to HOME so i just did another Clean install today. Im thinking it might have to do with the ASUS GPU TWEAK II i have running i may have put it too high for my MB and it was causing graphical errors. SO i turned it down and just waiting it out. Or it could be a problem with MSI Command Centre. I dont know yet

Is there a reason why you are using MSI products for an ASUS motherboard? Unless you have a GPU, but you are using the built-in GPU, so not sure.

I'm sorry, I read that totally backwards. Why did you uninstall the on-board graphics when you have a GPU installed? your monitor is plugged into your GPU correct?

(He used a GTX 660 for this video, and the temps even went down by 3'C because he used way better thermal paste VS the manufacturers thermal paste which is usually cheap stuff)

To much on the CPU tho could increase temperatures depending on the type of thermal paste you use. As for the GPU, it usually doesn't matter (your manufacturer spreads so much thermal paste on those cores that it touches all the major pins and so on, but nothing shorts out. Just make sure you use non-conductive thermal paste, not conductive)

Also, depending on what the on-board graphics where, if you did a fresh install of Windows they shouldn't be appearing at all anymore. Meaning they'll never install again, so what? You'll have to re-install Nvidia's drivers though. Afterwords, you should be fine.

All great points thank you. Although i want to be clear that since i re applied the thermal paste i havent seen any change in my performance and things arent slow. I beleive the problem was that the Heatsink was sliding around too much on the CPU causing it not to properly be connected and allowing it to drop in performance. I am not worried about my GPU as much as i was worried about my CPU and damaging it due to slide from the heatsink. With the newly added smaller bit of Thermal paste the heatsink doesnt move at all and i havent had any problems with what i am doing. I have the ASUS TWEAK II to monitor my GPU but i needed something to monitor my Temps for my CPU which I also have installed and monitoring Im currently using MSI COmmand Centre but that app i shit or miss and every app i use tells me a different temp so i dont know what is true anymore. HOwever currently with MSI Command I am sitting at 38 degrees Celsius and I just turned it on about 5 mins ago. HOwever my household is very warm and I dont own an AC so i may put a small fan outside to blow cool air in but i dont think that is the problem. I also Have 2 Fans attached to my Heatsink running a push/pull design. So that should drop my temp but it doesnt so i am going to look into buying better thermal paste
