Performance issues

[ZzachBbrown]

For about a week or so, I've been having issues with simple tasks. Periodically responsiveness and performance within Windows or my PC takes a sudden drop. Loading File Explorer, Malwarebytes, Chrome or checking for Windows updates become prolonged and unresponsive (most of the time with no results).  When these occurrences take place I run scans with Webroot, Malwarebytes, Avg and check for registry problems with CCleaner, with nothing bad being revealed. Following that I attempt to restart my computer, I say attempt because the process will seemingly take ages to follow through. This community has been of a great deal of help to me in the past, i'm certain this experience will be no different. 

I appreciate any advice, information and help/input given. Thank you

Currently under 35C on all cores and 39 on Gpu. I'll be sure to keep tabs on temperatures.

How's your SSD? If I had to guess, I'd say that's your issue.

Try doing a speed test with Crystal Disk Mark (maybe on your HDD too, just in case)

Also, the 4690k is an Intel i5, not i7

4790k* Sorry about that.

I'll run a test, thanks for your suggestion. 

Results for the SSD;

When this occurs, open Windows Task Manager (Or keep it open if you have problems opening it) and check usage of everything.

(Switch your CPU's graph to logical processors)

 

Post a screenshot when you can

 

EDIT: Oh, the CDM scores you posted are a bit slow, but not terrible. Your SSD might not be the issue.

Windows in general is acting up at this point. Here a screen shot I grabbed a few seconds after it froze up on me. While unfrozen my SSD still seemed to be functioning at 98% capacity. So does this further draw attention to the conclusion that it may be my SSD?

Yep, seems to be your SSD unfortunately 

 

I'd recommend a Samsung 850 EVO if you're looking for a new one
