I built a gaming PC with the help of a friend in December of 2015 and was having no problems up until a few days ago. I forgot to turn off my PC before going to work so it was on the whole day. I didn't see any issues until yesterday when I was playing Shadow of Mordor for an hour or 2 before it starting slowing to a crawl, dropping to very low fps. This has become regular forcing me to restart or shutdown all together when it allows me to (sometimes I can't alt-tab out or use any other means to exit the game because it is completely frozen). Not only does it do this after an hour or so of gaming, it becomes ridiculously slow when doing simple tasks such as internet browsing. I'm not sure if the problem is a driver issue, that I unwisely haven't cleaned it since it was put together or something else all together. I'm rather new to this and would be very appreciative for help. If there is anything that I am missing to diagnose this problem please let me know as I have saved up a lot of $ for this PC and really need help solving this.
