Any useage date? What's your cpu idle load? What's your cpu and gpu temps? What kind of drive is the game installed on?

sounds like an issue with windows at first, have you tried installing windows fresh, if possible?

my cpu is 48C and my GPU is 58C I started using this pc since 2015, and most of my games are on a hdd but I have a game called rainbow six siege on a sdd but that runs like crap to when I play it know

windows gets corrupted over time

 

although it's not certain that this is the problem, serious performance can get screwed over by stuff like capacitor degradation on the motherboard

Just to confirm, didn't you update BIOS\UEFI by any chance ?

Another possibility is some coinminer virus, check task manager for any unusual load.

how often do you need to update your bios because that might be it I haven't updated it in a while
