so today, i did just deleted some prefetch data and the entire temp files.
suddenly, my pc run so slow even slower than my i3 2nd gen 2 GB DDR3 2010 laptop when running windows 10 at high quality settings.
here's my specs:
Intel i7 4770k
GTX 750 TI
asus Z87 A motherboard
8 GB ram ddr3
PSU thermaltake 500w
250 GB SSD for windows and some games
1 TB HDD for others

and here are things i've done:
-cleaning all useless files
-defrag the HDD
-stopping all background apps
-overclocking it a bit (both CPU and GPU)
-applying better thermal paste and adding more fans.
-lowering my windows 10 settings
-deactivating cortana

and it's still struggling even to just turn on from the sleep mode.
please help!

thank you!

Well, I don't see the use in overclocking or other hardware-related troubleshoot solutions because the catalyst was the deleting of the files. Here is a thread from Microsoft explaining what prefetch files do, I encourage you to take a look.
