GPU/power supply broken?

PROBLEM SOLVED

Hi,

I've been dealing with this issue last week. I was on vacation for a month, when I came back and tried playing games I noticed my FPS dropped as low as 20.

I've tried different games including PR, ArmA, etc..

With the help of Afterburner MSI I noticed that the GPU usage and temps. were very low compared to what it used to be (about 70?C with PR on all high, 80?C with ArmA on all high/ultra).

I reckon that it has to do something with the power supply?
Something is bottlenecking the GPU to draw more power. When I try to increase the base clock/memory clock on Afterburner the games crash.



All my drivers are up to date. (ASUS GTX 760)


Any advice how to diagnose the problem and fix it?


Thanks!

Just noticed that there was a lot of dust in the ventilation fans and my CPU fan.
This made my CPU overheat and bottlenecked my GPU in some sense.
The CPU-fan settings were also messed up so it was always on 20%.


My roommate did some weird things with fabrics (?) while I was away, hence the big amount of dust.

Man I hate him haha.
