Hello. I have been having quite a bit of trouble with my PC. I recently began having issues about 3 weeks ago. As soon as i start the computer it is very slow to start up and takes about 3-4 minutes to completely get to the desktop with all startup programs running. Which i have about 8-10. My computer specifications are :
GPU: GTX 1080
CPU: I7-6700
RAM: G. Skill RIPJAWS 16gbs
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z170X Gaming 7 rev 1.0
4 seagate hard drives at 7200 RPM
I had tested all of my components and I had faulty RAM, I then ordered new ram and installed it. It solved nothing.
It is lagging and so slow on the desktop and my cpu idle's between 30-80% and that is not normal for my setup. The CPU usually runs between 6-14%.
All the games that I play on this computer completely freeze or lag and or crash on start up. I have tested about 20 of my steam games.
I have ran multiple malware scans, and nothing is coming up. I use Malwarebytes 3.0 and it has been updated today.
I also use Avast and ran multiple scans and nothing was found as well.
I honestly believe there is severe malware, adware, trojans, rootkits or something that is causing this.
The computer is about a year old and I am quite tech-savvy but I am at a loss of what to do.
