Hi everyone,
I've been having issue with my machine for a few weeks now and I can't seem to work out what it is, I'm hoping people have some ideas
Spec
CPU - Intel I7-7700K
GPU - MSI GTX 1070 armor 8g oc
MB - ASUS Prime Z270-K
RAM - 32gb Vengeance RGB Pro 3200mhz
PSU - Bequiet! pure power 9 700w
Bootdrive - Samsung 750 EVO 120gb
OS - Windows 10 Pro 64bit
Problem
My PC is running really slowly compared to only a few weeks ago yet there had been no changes. Chrome would stuttur when moving tabs, games would stutter and have huge FPS drops compared to earlier, I can barely run the likes of Among Us/Minecraft without struggling for 30fps. COD MW dropped from 100+FPS to barely 60FPS
Steps taken already
Turn it on and off again....
Scan for Malware/Virus' - Nothing found using multiple scanners including Windows Offline tool
Updated all drivers - Everything is as up to date as possible
Updated BIOS - Hadn't ever done this from purchase, now on latest version
None of this helped so I re-installed Windows clean on the Samsung Drive, still terrible performance, tried another drive, same issue
I then took apart every part of the system, put it back together and clean installed again, still no improvement making me think its hardware but I don't know what I'd need to replace (I'm happy to upgrade if neccesarry but i was happy with the performace before the issues)
Does anyone have any other ideas as I feel my specs should be giving me atleast average performance even if it is a few years out of date
Sidenote - Weirdly in Among us when I move my mouse the game freezes, moment i stop it unfreezes, so playing that is impossible, tried 2 mice incase it was connected but both mice do the same thing
