Hello tech experts! My computer has recently been very fussy about playing certain games. For example, Osu! and League of Legends are unplayable (only when I move my mouse), while games like Skyrim and Terraria work just fine. Recently, I moved my computer a lot for a LAN party and around that time the heat sink for my processor broke - I was idling at about 90 C. I assumed that these problems occurred because my processor was having trouble through all the heat. After replacing my heat sink, I still get unplayable amounts of lag in the same games. But why? I've got a high-end computer that will run games WAY more demanding than League of Legends, and "CPU Thermometer" shows no temperatures over 50 C, yet simply moving the mouse brings forth [bleep]! I used to think that my Razer Mamba was the cause, as I would only get the lag when I had it plugged in (not in wireless mode, though). The problem got worse, however, and now I can't even use this crappy replacement mouse I have. What's going on, why is my computer so selective about what games it will/won't play, and how in the world can I fix this mess? Thanks in advance!
