This issue started about a week ago. Started playing It Takes Two, which I have played in the past with no issues. I noticed how bad the game was running like 1 action per 10 seconds and freezes in between. Restarted the game, again poor performance. Restarted again, works fine and the game run great. At this point I thought it was just the game. Then I started playing Call of Duty MW3. Now whenever I finish a match loading back into the main lobby, my PC once again comes to a very frozen like slow. Not EVERY TIME but often enough its raising suspicion. Even when the game is closed through task manager, my computer is at a crawl. Also, I play a lot of SCUM and if I recall it happened once on there too, but I can't remember too well because I was playing a lot before the new call of duty. This has never been an issue before one week ago. I was thinking maybe a dust off would do but what could dust do to cause this? Any help appreciated!
