Mainly I'd like to get it back to what it was before, though I'm not sure if that is feasible any longer.

 

On another note, last night the power light on my speakers was flickering. It is plugged in to a power strip along with my N64 and monitor. The tower itself however is plugged into the other socket of the outlet. 

 

Have you tried running a Malware scan with Malwarebytes? and also try running your computer with only the necessary hardware any extra hardware that is not needed to run unhook it and see if t does anything to it.

Already ran MWB. as far as unneccessary hardware...    ?

And maybe try moving your computer to another plug in your room/house and see if there is any change. could be a faulty plug causing problems as well.

Like if you have any external USB devices such as disk drives hard drives internal disk drives internal PCI cards (If any), just can never know if a piece of hardware can be failing and causing stress on the CPU. 

 

I've had it happen a few times, I had a Sound Blaster Fatality card that was going faulty and it was causing stress on my CPU and I removed it and the CPU went back to normal. I've some off the wall problems happen with hardware that hardly made sense on why.

 

and another time my modem on my laptop that was failing it was doing causing the CPU to run way to hot (60C) removed the modem and back down to 30-40C.

 

Edit; It could also be a failing PSU it could be failing and putting out to much power and causing temps to rise and causing random shutdowns and blue screens.

Well I can't very well go about removing things that aren't simply plugged into the back. Anyway I have my 3DS on me and might be able to get a picture of the bluescreen if I can conjure it again.

UPDATE: This bluescreen makes no mention of temperatures, though I have also had the machine randomly shut off on me when using it... (maybe that was it tempwise?) 

This bluescreen however points to extra hardware or software, and this.

KERNAL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR


The only USB component attached to the machine besides the mouse, keyboard, and wifi stick was a small platform for holding the wifi stick. Not even sure *why* was plugged in, but I took it out. It's useless. beyond that I have no clue though.

I had this problem with my old box (although under stress my CPU was hitting 80C and GPU 100+). The CPU/GPU fans were working, I cleaned out all the dust and reapplied thermal paste, yet the problem persisted.

Upon closer inspection the fan in my PSU had stopped working.

It has at least been established that my primary fan can change speeds though is only doing so via Speedfan. It can't detect anything else moving...       as for the blue screen, I'm now fairly sure it isn't being caused by heat, though if a fan has gone bad, that could be it.     I'm not actually sure how many fans I have. With these hp pavillions it is difficult to see the graphics card.

That's why you need to open up the case and LOOK at it.

It seems you need to read my post again. 

 

I believe now the system has but the one fan. If the gpu has one it would be very poorly designed and wouldn't cool the unit at all. I'm inclined to believe there is just the one.
