Need help! My pc can't handle Minecraft on base settings!
Hello everyone!
I'm a proud owner of a pc that has been nothing but exceptional since 2021. It helps me edit videos, and handles games like NBA 2k, Fifa, hitman,... with ease. (SPECS BELOW)
The problem begins earlier this year when I came home from a 2 week trip to a non-bootable pc. During the process of diagnosing, I removed the cpu and noticed at least one pin was bent (put it back since i didn't want to risk worsening it). The problem was solved when I removed the sata cable connected to the internal ssd, but the pc booted up to a completely different desktop, with old apps and documents from the time before i rebuilt my pc (2021).
Just today, I open Minecraft, to which I found out that my pc can't even run smoothly on base settings, like nothing moves for at least half a second. I downloaded novabench to test but it did not give out anything too visibly bad. I did however take a screenshot of HWMonitor while Minecraft was on, and the cpu was running peak at 77C.
Given the current circumstance, and the details mentioned above, I really need an opinion or two on what could be the the problem. Are there other tests that I can do? Which component(s) seems to be the main problem? I'm basically clueless on what to do next, so anything should help plenty. Thank you!
