I was playing ARK: Survival Evolved a bit, the temps on my CPU were around 50-57c (Socket temps, for some reason HWMonitor doesn't display my core temps) I was playing for about an hour and a half. I came back after an hour, logged on YouTube to get some tunes playing and all of the sudden my computer freezes (display and sound) then a message says something about a window's kernel driver but it went away too fast to read. Well anyway after that happened my CPU throttled down for the second time within a month.
I'm not sure what exactly to do, I think it might be my CM EVO's fan? I also think my NVIDIA graphics driver is crashing, I re-installed it but the problem keeps happening.
