Throttle down?!

[phantom93]

So I was moving, PC fell over (veritcal -> horizontal) and after I plugged it all in at my new place it randomly slows down (like the CPU is lagging).

Idk if it is from the fall, but it never did this prior to moving. Windows is running on a SSD, the other 4 HDDs seem to operate fine. No leaking from my water cooler, temps are normal.

I have a i7-3770, 8GB DDR3-1600, and a GTX 285. Shouldn't be doing this and I can't tell if it stops after X time because I am heading out for a bit (more moving). Any ideas, anyone? Thanks ahead of time.

Check your heat sink and fans. It may be slowing down to avoid overheating.

At the point of when it slows down check the cpu temps and see what the are. You can also go into the action center and run the troubleshooter to see if it comes up with any issues.

I ran chkdsk on all my drives, seems to have fixed all of those issues.
