My 3 year old PC feels like a toaster. It worked perfectly for 1 year, and suddenly started feeling like this.
If you've got any idea what this might be, or which component, please help me out.
Specs:
Intel Core i5 6402P @ 2.80GHz, Skylake
4096MB ATI Radeon RX 470 Graphics 4GB
RAM 8.00GB Single-Channel Unknown @ 1064MHz
MSI B150M BAZOOKA PLUS
SSD: 111GB Western Digital (for Windows only)
HDD: 931GB TOSHIBA HDWD110 (the only thing that stayed from the old PC, this hdd is 6+ years old)
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

Examples of issues:
- game: r6 siege: cpu stays at 100%, game is unplayable if not on lowest resolution, but even then it still lags a lot. my specs should be great for the game though: https://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=20387&game=Rainbow Six: Siege&p_make=Intel&p_deriv=Core+i5-6402P+2.8GHz&gc_make=ATI&gc_deriv=Radeon+RX+470+Sapphire+Nitro++4GB&ram=8&screenRes_width_FPS=1920&screenRes_height_FPS=1080&checkSubmit=#systemRequirements
- game: apex legends: after a big update, it lags the first 2-3 games (otherwise works fine)
- game: overwatch: afetr a big update, the characters won't load 1-2 minutes (otherwise works fine)
- firefox: takes 2 mins to fully load, until then, hdd usage jumps to 100%
- takes up to 2 seconds to open start
- pc will often randomly lag for a second or so
- cpu: 2-5%
- ram: 31%
- ssd/hdd: 0
- gpu: 1%
- cpu: 7-23%
- ram: 60%
- ssd/hdd: 7%
- gpu: 1%
- installed windows on ssd - this only sped up the booting process, lag is still there
- reinstalled windows: did this few days ago, no issues were solved
- wiped both ssd and hdd and reinstalled everything (windows, drivers, all games), no issues solved
