I've got a PC with an Intel i5-12400F CPU and an AMD RX 6600 GPU, but it's been shutting down every 10 minutes. I'm also facing constant stuttering and frame drops in almost every game, including ones that used to run fine. My setup includes 16GB of DDR4 RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD. I've already tried updating my GPU drivers, cleaning out the dust from the fans, checking for malware, and lowering the in-game settings. Despite all these efforts, the issues persist. Any advice on how to fix this?

First things first, monitor your CPU and GPU temperatures using a tool like HWInfo. It sounds like those shutdowns are likely due to overheating, especially if your thermal paste has dried up. If temps are high, that could lead to thermal throttling, causing lag and unexpected shutdowns to protect your CPU.
Replacing thermal paste can be a game changer! It’s not as hard as it seems—just research a bit about PTM7950 for top-notch thermal performance without needing to swap out your fan or heatsink. A good quality thermal paste should definitely help you with your overheating issues.
