Hello, I have an intel i7 4790 with a GTX 770 graphics card. Lately, my computer has been having problems booting up, such as turning on but the screen will still be black. The only fix is to keep powering down and back on until it decides to work.

Another issue I'm having is extreme framerate drop. I have been playing most games on high graphics settings with no issues, but recently I can't even play a game of league of legends on the lowest graphics settings because I only get 4 fps.

I downloaded a program that checks my CPU temperatures and all four of the core temps were 95+ degrees Celsius. This is the case whether the pc is idle or if I'm in a game. As far as I know, the core temperatures have just recently started getting that high and that is causing a huge fps loss in every game.

Also, it may be worth noting that my Core speed and Core voltage are rapidly fluctuating.
Core speed fluctuates from 800MHz-3600MHz...
Does anyone have an idea of what they think might be wrong?

P.S. Sorry for bad formatting. I'm posting from my phone.
 


I downloaded prime95. Started up the "blend" test and my voltage is sitting at .70 and my CPU utilization is sitting at 20%. I'm looking at it through the performance tab on my task manager. So even under a stress test it never runs at full load. So it seems to be when my CPU throttles, it is the load and the frequency that are being reduced.
 


I'm looking at individual core usage now and it is still showing about 40% usage for each under the stress test.
