My PC 2 months ago started dropping FPS to 5 for a couple of seconds and/or my camera starts lagging. And just today I got a blue screen, don't know why this is happening. It's probably a hardware issue but i have an adware that i can't remove so it might be causing the problem. But i don't know so hopefully some of you can help.

My Specs:

AMD Gigabyte Radeon RX 460 Windforce 2gb
AMD Athlon II X4 840 Quad-core 3.1Ghz
1TB HDD
PSU 500W (But i don't know because it caught fire a while but, nothing was damaged though)
ASUS A68HM-K
8gb RAM
Windows 10 Pro

Replace the PSU!, there's absolutely no reason to continue using a PSU that has caught fire!

Malwarebytes may help with the adware and if it doesn't then your probably going to want to do a clean install of Windows.

Something hardware related at least it said that on the code thing. I would replace my PSU just don't have the money right now. And i'm not sure if that's causing the issue because that happened right after i bought the computer and it's been 6 months between the fire and the problems that started.
