The other night I decided I'd see if my i7 would go into my new motherboard that already had a CPU in it. After taking the CPU out I noticed the i7 wouldn't fit (Note: I didn't even try put the i7 in). After noticing this, I put the other CPU back in (Intel Quad 2 Core Q6700) and put the fan back in (after a fair struggle getting the pins to pop into place). I turned on my computer and it turned on and was in the boot up menu and then crashed. I retried several times which came to the same conclusion. I then took the CPU out, put it back in as well as the fan and the computer then started and after choosing to do a repair check thing, it turned on normally, albeit a bit slower than usual. Dismissing this I booted up CSGO to see if it had affected the gameplay of that. The frame rate had dropped from about 200 to around 30 and below. Getting task manager up, it said about 60% of the CPU was being used. Note that I did not replace the thermal paste after taking the fan off. Shortly after closing Counter Strike, it crashed and just turned off. Turning it back on it crashed again after about 5 minutes. Please help, why is this happening? And why has my FPS dropped so dramatically? Thanks in advance.
