Starting a few days ago, my PC suddenly took a few secs longer to boot and at times, it froze for a second or two during normal use. I didn't think much of it at the time but now, I'm experiencing higher CPU and GPU temps at almost idle state(only using chrome and stuff).

Now, the boot time is 10-15 secs more than usual and my CPU temperature at almost idle state is around 45-50C. It never crossed 40 during light use before, from the time I've built this PC in July. I've never over clocked or tried any fancy stuff with my PC yet.


Specs:

Ryzen 5 1600 with stock cooler
Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3
HyperX Fury 8 GB RAM @2666MHz
Zotac 1050 Ti OC
WD 1TB HDD

Nope. Been more than a month since my last peripheral update and I didn't experience anything like that.

And no, I haven't tried that method.

The start up and the high temps on both GPU and CPU are a concern to me. My system hasn't been able to update to the Windows 10 update that came around 10 October... For some reason, it kept failing so I stopped trying. I have been facing this issue for the last week or so though. Do you think it could be a software problem?

I thought about cleaning stuff too. But I didn't because it looks pretty clean. I'll clean it first thing in the morning though. Thanks.
