Hey everyone,

I am facing issu with my computer hardware and I thought I would reach out here to see if anyone has advice please share. My system seems to be running slower than usual & I have been noticing random freezes here and there. Also I have checked a few things such as the RAM and storage but I am not sure if the issue lies with the GPU, CPU or something else entirely.

Has anyone experienced something similar? I am considering opening up the case & checking for any dust buildup or loose connections but I don’t want to mess anything up. Also should I run any diagnostic tools to pinpoint the problem? I have heard running some tests through [Python](https://www.igmguru.com/blog/what-is-python) scripts can help with detecting hardware issues but not sure how to get started with that. Also i have check this [Understanding GPD Device Updates and Troubleshooting!](https://gpdsupport.com/t/understanding-gpd-device-updates-and-troubleshooting/858) witch is good.

Thank you…🙂
