severe lag spikes constantly

[howapres]

Started last Thursday.

Bad lag spikes + display glitching (miscolored pixels across the screen).

Went in safe mode, used what anti-malware I had, found and removed some files.

Tried to go back to standard mode: severe slow down on boot up.

Since then, downloaded a few other programs (Malwarebytes, Spybot, Kaspersky); don't find anything even in safe mode, but lag spikes remain.

Display glitch MAY have been a separate issue with the card that happened coincidently; currently testing a new card.

[MrCharlie]

Lets run some scans:

Please read the directions carefully so you don't end up deleting something that is good!!

If in doubt about an entry....please ask or choose Skip!!!!

Don't Delete anything unless instructed to!

If you get the warning about a file UnsignedFile.Multi.Generic or LockedFile.Multi.Generic please choose

Skip and click on Continue

If a suspicious object is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue

Please note that TDSSKiller can be run in safe mode if needed.

Please download the latest version of TDSSKiller from HERE and save it to your Desktop.

• Doubleclick on TDSSKiller.exe to run the application, then click on Change parameters.

  

• Put a checkmark beside loaded modules.

  

• A reboot will be needed to apply the changes. Do it.
• TDSSKiller will launch automatically after the reboot. Also your computer may seem very slow and unusable. This is normal. Give it enough time to load your background programs.
• Then click on Change parameters in TDSSKiller.
• Check all boxes then click OK.

  

• Click the Start Scan button.

  

• The scan should take no longer than 2 minutes.
• If a suspicious object is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue.

  

  Any entries like this: \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 ( TDSS File System ) - please choose Skip.

  If in doubt about an entry....please ask or choose Skip

• If malicious objects are found, they will show in the Scan results - Select action for found objects and offer three options.

  Ensure Cure (default) is selected, then click Continue > Reboot now to finish the cleaning process.

  

  Note: If Cure is not available, please choose Skip instead, do not choose Delete unless instructed.

• A report will be created in your root directory, (usually C:\ folder) in the form of "TDSSKiller.[Version]_[Date]_[Time]_log.txt". Please copy and paste the contents of that file here. There may be 3 logs > so post or attach all of them.
• Sometimes these logs can be very large, in that case please attach it or zip it up and attach it.

Here's a summary of what to do if you would like to print it out:

If in doubt about an entry....please ask or choose Skip

Don't Delete anything unless instructed to!

If a suspicious object is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue

If you get the warning about a file UnsignedFile.Multi.Generic or LockedFile.Multi.Generic please choose

Skip and click on Continue

Any entries like this: \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 ( TDSS File System ) - please choose Skip.

If malicious objects are found, they will show in the Scan results and offer three (3) options.

Ensure Cure is selected, then click Continue => Reboot now to finish the cleaning process.

Note: If Cure is not available, please choose Skip instead, do not choose Delete unless instructed.

You can attach the logs if they're too long:

New window that comes up.

Thanks for the advice; however it turns out it was the combination of video card and hard drive simultaneously beginning to die, and some relatively harmless malware putting me on Defcon 1.
