Hey guys,

I've had my cpu for 5 years and recently did a fresh clean windows installation and even opened my cpu up to air dust it clean. When i plugged in my cords (keyboard, two monitors, wifi adapater, and mouse) i got messages saying "your last usb device connected isn't recognized and can malfuction"...i then started playing video games and my monitor proceeded to turn black and say "entering power saving mode" and my cpu fans got really loud. I could still hear everything in game but my screen was black and was forced to restart. I made sure my drivers and windows were all up to date but this is still occurring which never happened before. Can I get some help please? Thank you so much <3
 
Solution
opened my cpu up to air dust it clean.
What do you mean by this? You took off the CPU cooler and cleaned it?

Your CPU could be overheating. Replace the old thermal paste and put some new paste on your CPU. Make sure your cooler is properly seated.
