Sorry for the Albion picture, but it helps to show my issue. Up until yesterday all was fine, but I began noticing that temps were rising and coolers going on higher rpms.. so I decided it was time to wipe some dust off my vents. Did this plenty of times, with an antistatic mat and gloves, proper tools and unplugging the battery. Today when I plug again the battery after I was done, I heard some crackling electric noise, not a good sign at all. Although after everything was plugged and armed again, my machine turned on just fine so I didn't worry much, and generally speaking everything worked fine until I decided to play a bit.
Did I bust my CPU? I had an undervolting of -125, tried reverting it back to 0 but it still happens. I'm also at a loss about that red BD PRO message, first time seing it.
Edit: Did a test on Ableton Live, another CPU intensive software, and everything works fine, no sudden spikes. Also tried another game and the same drops happened. Maybe it's GPU related? Could the GPU (GTX 1050) affect the CPU's voltage?
