I was enjoying a few Overwatch matches when, inexplicably, I experienced significant lag and abruptly disconnected from the game. This didn't occur during active gameplay; instead, I was simply ejected and informed that a connection to the game couldn't be established. My internet connection appeared stable, with all other devices within my home utilizing the network without issue, and my average ping was consistently 24ms. However, my processor temperature was running at approximately 52 degrees Celsius. Could this lower temperature be contributing to these game crashes? I don't believe the problem lies within the game’s code, as my teammates weren’t similarly experiencing mid-game disconnections.

Below is a list of my PC components:

Your processor isn't ideal when it’s excessively cool; maintaining a moderate temperature improves system performance. It doesn't function like an antiquated motor that requires warming up to achieve optimal efficiency.

Has your motherboard’s firmware been updated to the latest release?

Your processor isn't optimally functional when it’s excessively chilly; warmer temperatures generally improve performance. Unlike a vintage motor that requires a period of warming to perform at its peak, your motherboard's firmware should be updated to the latest version.

That's what I initially suspected as well. I feel it’s likely connected to my computer’s processing power rather than the game itself, which is causing me confusion.
