Hey,I bought my CPU in November 2015 and it never caused any problems, but since about 2 or 3 months ago I noticed that the CPU whenever it reaches 98%, Windows stops completely until the percentages return to normal. This past week I did an upgrade to my GPU that greatly increased my fps, but did not solve this problem, since when it reached above 98% the fps descended to the 0-1fps.I went to see some benchmark videos of my CPU and stress tests and I noticed that when they did a stress test they still managed to work on the computer, when I do a stress test on my CPU, windows stops and I can not stop the program from doing the stress test.I would you like to know if this is evidence of a possibly damaged CPU?

CPU:AMD FX 6-Core 6300 (3.5GHz) Black Socket AM3
Motherboard:Asus M5A78L-M LX3
RAM:G.Skill 2x8GB DDR3 1600MHz RipjawsX CL10GPU:
MSI GEFORCE® GTX 1050 TI AERO ITX OCV1 4GB GD5
HDD/SSD:Western Digital 1TB SATA III 64MB Blue
PSU:Corsair CX-430W (80 )Cooling:CPU Arctic Freezer 13
OS: Windows 10 Pro

CPU slows down when it feels temperatures are to high.

Its not damaged, it simply needs CPU thermal paste replacement.
To do it you open your PC/laptop you take of radiator form CPU and you take of "old" thermal paste.
You put new one.
Let someone who has got experience doing it do it for you.
Thermal paste itself costs around £5$ and it lasts for 7 changes.

"usually my temps are just fine, never go above 60"

its the temperatures that are in stress (when processor is under pressure)
IDLE temperatures (CPU not running any programs) will not slow CPU down.

Wow, your graphics card severely outruns your CPU. The recommended graphics card would be a GTX 750 or a 960. If this problem doesn't soon get solved, contact the company/people from whom you bought the computer off. Tell them the problem and wait for their feedback. Since they sold the computer to you, they may have a better understanding of what is happening. If you have a warranty, you are covered and fine. Try it anyways. If there is a problem with the CPU which can not be fixed, buy a new CPU and cooler.
