Is it possible that my cpu can go bad that fast? It was fine the day before.

Hello! I’ve recently come back to gaming (mainly Minecraft) and weirdly, it ran at pretty high frames, considering the potato PC I have (specs at the end). I used to stream it with OBS just fine but suddenly one day, my output (not the game) started to stutter. It would skip frames. Then a few days later, my FPS would drop from 150-200 to 40-50, even without streaming. A few people told me it was high CPU usage but I don’t recall changing any setting whatsoever. After investigation, I realized after the stuttering started happening, I updated my drivers and that's when the general lag happened. Here’s a few examples of the stuttering : https://www.twitch.tv/videos/455773446 https://www.twitch.tv/lithsod/video/455769995 CPU : Intel Core i5 2400 @ 3.10GHz - Average temperature : 54 °CSandy Bridge 32nm TechnologyCore 0 1596.2 MHz x 16.0 99.8 MHz 53 °C APIC ID: 0Core 1 3292.1 MHz x 33.0 99.8 MHz 52 °C APIC ID: 2Core 2 3292.1 MHz x 33.0 99.8 MHz 52 °C APIC ID: 4Core 3 3391.9 MHz x 34.0 99.8 MHz 52 °C APIC ID: 6Motherboard : Hewlett-Packard 1497 (SOCKET 0)RAM :6.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-24)DRAM Frequency : 665.1 MHzMemory Usage : 70 %Total Physical : 5.89 GBAvailable Physical : 1.72 GBTotal Virtual : 9.77 GBAvailable Virtual : 5.49 GBSSD/HDD :232GB Western Digital WDC WD2500AAKX-603CA0 (SATA ) Average Temperature : 35 °CGPU :Manufacturer : IntelModel : HD GraphicsDevice ID : 8086-0102Revision : ASubvendor : HP (103C)Current Performance Level : Level 0Current GPU Clock : 847 MHzTechnology : 32 nmDriver version : 9.17.10.4459GPU Clock : 847 MHzPSU : 240W - assuming old owners have never changed it, it should be about 8 years old.
