Recently I just upgraded my Mobo/Processor. It ran perfect I could League of Legends and Runescape at the same time, while running music from youtube. Then I started to drop frames, and I was confused so I would just close down one of them and continue to play (it would be fine). Now when i was just playing LoL my frames continued to drop and its just League of Legends. I reinstalled my OS and it didn't help.

Processor: Intel i5-4690k 3.50GHz
Memory: Crucial 2X4Gb
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970
Mobo: MSI Z97 A Gaming
PSU: Thermaltake Smart 850W Bronze

Hi, Bluephx, what are your temperatures?

Its kinda weird, it'll fluctuate going up and down. I looked at my HDD and its running active 100% of the time.
Maybe its a bad HDD causing all this?
 


You're CPU is overheating and throttiling, that's why you're dropping frames.

Replace the thermal paste and reseat heatsink. I suggest using the pea method with the thermal paste.
