My PC/Monitor is taking unusually long to do things now

Ok, so first of all I don't know if it's pc or my monitor acting weird, but it's been acting weird lately and I haven't done any big update before it. I'll list some examples of what has been happening.

- When I boot up my PC, and I type my password in, it doesn't load all of the •••••• for a while and then it finally zooms and the password goes in.

- When I finally log in, both of my monitors turn black for 2 minutes, and then first comes the task bar at the bottom of the screen, and then the icons, and then the screensaver. It takes about 30seconds for everything to show up on my desktop. 

- Randomly when I click refresh on my desktop, it turns the screensaver black, but my icons stay there. It's weird. 

- If my pc screen stays black for a while and nothing is showing up, I can do ctrl + alt + del and that would work, but it would take a while before I can hover over an option before it lights up. 

- When logging in and swiping the screensaver up to type the password in, the screensaver takes a while to slide up. 

 

I have Windows 8.1 by the way, and if specs are needed just ask me. I've had this computer for a little under a year and I've kept good care of it, and now it's making me worried. My goal is to fix this problem without sending it into the shop. I've tried an automatic repair on it and it didn't work.

more specs are on my profile. They should be. I have one 144hz monitor and 1 60hz monitor. The 144hz monitor supports freesync (why I have AMD card)

I tried that and it's getting worse. Below are some examples of where my computer freezes. Could it be my power supply or me not having a SSD?
