Recently I came back home from a month-long vacation and when I got on my computer, it was a whole lot slower. At that point I was running windows 8. I ran a scan with Malwarebytes and deleted all the unwanted programs, and even one malicious program/folder. Afterwards I upgraded to windows 10 and it's still just as slow. Before all the vacation it was pretty quick, and I could run most video games at max settings with a decent FPS, now it will barely run the games. It can't be the ping because whenever I did play, it was always pretty low. And I don't think it could be malware or anything because I ran another scan today and it came up clean. I should also say that last night my computer shut down because the CPU was getting too hot, so that might be the cause, even though it's more-or-less dust-free in the tower. Simply put, I have no clue why my PC is slow as all hell, and I just need some advice as to why it is and how to fix it.

Some specs of my PC, just incase it's important.
CPU: Intel i5 4670K 3.4GHz (watercooled)
GPU: Asus GTX760
just ask if anything more is needed.

Update: Pump is not working.
 


Yes, both fans for the CPU are spinning, forgot to mention the fact it's water-cooled.

 


Well the temps on all the cores are currently around 100°C, so I'm gonna assume that the pump is not working because I don't remember hearing it turn on during start-up.

Update: Pump is in fact not working.

 


It's a closed loop. It's a corsair, but I forgot the specific model. I'm thinking like an H80i or similar model.

 


I wiggled the plug and made sure it was fitting and snug, turned it back on and still doesn't work. I can't find another place on my motherboard to power it either.
