    Sudden permanent FPS decrease

    I was in the middle of playing a game with a stable 90+ fps. I tabbed out and when I tabbed back in my fps had dropped to below 30. Now, whatever game I play, my fps is below 30 when I normally got 60+.

    My mouse cursor consistently changes to a vertical line with black dots every 30mins or so. I can stop this by turning on mouse trails but I don't want to have to resort to this.
