So - As the title says, after no memorable event my computer seems to have slowed horribly. To start with, here is dertails on the hardware:
ASRock Z77 Motherboard
Geforce GTX670
Intel I5 3470
Western Digital WD Black 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5"
Corsair Vengeance 8GB RAM
This concerns all tasks, web browsing, game playing etc. Where I used to have 50 ish FPS in my heavily modded skyrim, It's now dropped to around 20. And that's when I'm running a lower performance ENB. I have checked the temperatues of both my GPU and CPU, and they both come out at around 35.
Personally, I suspsect it is the Hard Drive. I have ran defrags, malware programs, and CCleaner also - To no avail.
What I have noticed however is an increased whirring from the drive, more like vibrations however- Could this somehow be physical damage? Even if my computer doesn't exactly move all day.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
