Computer Problems

Basically my brother has a old computer of mine and the other day it started glitching and lagging when ever he played minecraft or tried to edit videos for his youtube.

 

I have tried to delete minecraft and looked around online to see what could be wrong but couldnt find anything, i was thinking its a hardware fault with the graphics card so i changed the graphics card and put a 7870 in there

but yet it kept happening,im still thinking that its a hardware issue, maybe his motherboard or maybe the cpu but im not 100% sure on what it is.

 

Does anyone know what it could be, I didnt know if its worth changing some parts but then it might not fix it or completely changing the parts and starting fresh.

Not very descriptive - please list out all the system specs. Does it only lag when playing minecraft?

if it's a old system then it's the ram and the CPU :/

yeah i was thinking that, but then i was also thinking the power supply due to the fact that the computer gets very hot due to not having much airflow and being in australia its very hot so i thought it could get hot from that

That may be your issue - dust out the system and make sure you have adequate airflow... maybe a new case with better airflow would be better?

I will try that, but could it have already damaged the parts in the system?

I would say no, but there is always a chance

Highly doubt it. Most of the time the PC will turn itelf off if a component gets too hot.

try running the system with everything outside the case and put a fan on the ram test if that fixes it. if it does then you need a better case with more fans

one more thing you need to take into consideration is that minecraft runs with java meaning more cpu power than gpu so it might be a simple overheating issue, so as said check the your heatsink if your using one make sure nothing is wrong there then if every thing is okay make sure you are running the latest java 64-bit version.. good luck :D
