So last year (pretty much just last week) I ended up doing a routine clean of my computer to get rid of any dust buildup. Long story short, my hard drive was corrupted somehow and I needed to reset my computer. The computer works now, but I'm experiencing two issues.
Firstly, my CPU is reaching 100 degrees C. I've never had this problem before, I'm guessing it has something to do with how I applied the thermal paste. (Small dollop in the middle so it spreads itself) Using a lazer thermometer on the back of the cpu only gives me readings of 50-60 degrees and BIOS always tells me 70, but I've used programs such as CAM and RealTemp that give me 99-100.
Secondly, the computer is much slower than before. I mean, I'm experiencing spikes of lag as I write this. Opening task manager tends to end with it not responding most of the time and even just general use is pretty slow. I'm guessing this has something to do with the CPU problems, but I'm not really an expert in this area.
