Poor Pc Performance

[jmann858]

Recently I have been having some big problems with my pc. Every time I boot it up and go to run a game im getting less than half of my usual 60 fps. I've also noticed that if im running a game and watching a youtube video the youtube video with stutter and have low fps (this has never been a problem for me before). Usually to fix this I have to restart my pc 2 or 3 times then it fixes the issue. This problem also occures if I put my computer to sleep then wake it up i will have to restart a couple of times. I noticed this all started when I put my custom pc into a new mini itx case so im thinking I may have broken part or somthing. All my drivers are up to date i've checked twice and i just recently upgraded to windows 10 64 bit Home edition. As for my pc it has the following hardware:

 

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97N-WIFI

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770k

GPU: EVGA GTX 770sc

RAM: 8gb Balistix ram

PSU: It came built in to the EVGA Hadron case

SSD: Samsung 120 gb ssd (has windows installed)

HDD: WD Blue 1tb Hard drive

 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do a virus scan first. Then make sure no hardware is thermal throtteling, then putting it to sleep usally makes it slow (at least for me) I guess its beacuse its tons of services and stuff running and that never gets shut down.

Welcome, you should follow your post!

 

Download CCleaner, have it run through all the services that are running. I do this every 6 months or so to get rid of all the garbage, it will make a huge difference (at least for me it does.)  It also might help to let CC do its work on your drives and startup apps.
