Question PC Freezing

[ChrisB85]

Hi All,

I built my PC just over 2 years ago, and it has been running perfectly until around a week ago. Now I am getting intermitent freezing, and lack of responsiveness. When I try to open a game, it will attempt to load, then just get stuck, and when I try to close the application using task manager it does nothing. The PC won't completely freeze, but it just becomes very slow, and I can't open or close any other programs. When I click restart or shut down using the task bar nothing happens, and I have to restart using the case button. Sometimes after a restart it does exactly the same thing before I've even opened anything, and this issue can also occur if I'm just browsing the web, but it most noticeable when opening a game.

The RGB on 2 of my case fans has also completely stopped working, and another is working but only partially (the fans are still spinning though). Also, the CPU cooler when idle seems to go between 1400-1800rpm, revving up and down every few seconds. I am by no means an expert with this kind of stuff, and any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Install hwmonitor and check your cpu temps. You may be thermal throttling. Check in your device manager to make sure there are no hardware conflicts or warnings since you report a problem with your rgb.

I can't see any issues in Device Manager. This is what I get in HWMonitor;
