(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); My computer is fairly old but about a year ago my computer started overheating and shutting down every 20 min or so. I also have a problem that many programs on my computer no longer run properly. For example skype, visual studio, u torrent and many others when opened just freeze and stop responding. Iv tried re-installing programs countless times but nothing seems to work
I have searched everywhere on the internet but all I could find is that my CPU needs a new layer of thermal paste.

All help and advice is much appreciated, I hope I made sense.
