Is it being throttled?

Have you chekced the connections? Maybe it has a bad connection or something that caused this problem?

I had a similar problem long ago, not quite the exact same one though. I solved it by updating my integrated Intel GPU driver. Maybe try this and see if it helps?

I just applied paste and cleaned the fans yesterday but it wasn't quite helping. I know it is thermal throttling because obviously it was getting too hot to touch. How do I reset the clock speed and voltage? I never did any overclocking and even then, I mostly play low spec games that shouldn't...

White lines are generally caused by problems with the monitor. See if you switch the two monitors around and if that change anything. If not, take the second monitor over to repairs?

Fans will usually only spin when temperature goes high enough. The higher the temp goes, the more audible your fans will become. Are you talking about idle fan not spinning or is it not spinning when you are running, say a game.

CPU and GPU normally goes about 50 centigrade, but when I run games, even non-demanding games like Darkest Dungeon or Plague Inc., GPU drags the whole thing up to 90+ (if I remove the temp cap).

So I have a GTX1060 Max Q on my laptop and I noticed that it gets overheated everytime I play anything on that GPU. I recently got GPU-Z to figure out what the blazes is going on and I noticed that whenever I play a game, no matter how low the GPU load is, the GPU Clock and memory clock are...

Have you checked if the performance is being throttled? If the temperature goes too high, sometimes the computer will throttle performance to ensure you don't overheat.

I did not format the hard drive completely as I have a lot of stuff on the drive. I used the Media Creation Tool and turned a USB into a boot drive and installed the Windows 10 from there.

The computer runs fine before I redid the system so I think it might not be a fan/thermal paste issue.

Have you tried to monitor the situation with say, the task manager? Check the task manager when you experience the slowdown, is your computer's memory usage suddenly spiking? Is the CPU Usage suddenly spiking? These can all cause "slowdowns". Overheating can also cause throttles, which means it...

Have you tried monitoring the temperature? You can try monitoring the temperature and see if the computer is overheating. Overheating can trigger a failsafe to restart the computer so it doesn't overheat too much and damage the hardware.

Have you tried using chkdsk to fix this yet? Run chkdsk at cmd. You might have to run as admin. Try chkdsk /f /r X:. Replace the X with the disk you are trying to check. /f and /r should detect for bad sectors and try to fix them. If you can't boot, go to advanced startup options and run the...

I got a similar issue here. I run an i7-8750H. The computer is barely a year old so I highly doubt it is a thermal paste issue. I also cleaned the radiator and fans recently as well. This all happened after I reinstalled the Win 10 system on my laptop. Maybe that has something to do with it? How...
