Question PC Has Been Underperforming Recently

So, I've had my current computer for about 3 years now, and it seems that only recently I've been dropping a significant number of frames in games. I've been playing CS:GO recently and I've even been dropping into even the 60FPS range when there's lots of rendering happening (players, particles, etc.)

This wasn't always the case, however. I used to average around 120-160 frames in the game, and although I do reach those numbers sometimes, I drop much more often than I used to.

I have an RX580, a Ryzen 7 2700, and 16GB of ram.

I've looked online and confirmed that people who have the same specs as me run at the same frames I used to be averaging.

Any theories as to why this might be happening?

Well, from the testing I was able to do, my CPU averaged around 46.3C while gaming. That was on CS:GO.

I tried to boot up MWII 2022 for another test and my entire computer just crashed. The same thing also happened while I was testing CS:GO.

I feel like something is terribly wrong with my system.
