Hey guys, i've been having a number of issues with my PC for quite a while and everything i've done so far hasn't really helped so i decided to come here since it's the most advanced place i've heard of.
So, starting, i've recently formatted my computer, after doing that, a lot of weird things have happened. I feel like nothing is running as fast, the softwares open faster and everything responds faster but windows animations for example are choppy and laggy when i first run them and then become smooth, same thing for browser stuff. Also when i'm scrolling on the browser it feels like it's stuttering, like micro-freezes for a split second for a couple times, and i don't think this happened before.
I also think that in games it has micro-stutters, i'm walking and suddenly it stutters for a split second before coming back to a stable frame-rate. I don't have many games here installed but i was able to replicate this in Doom 2016, Mass Effect and Elite: Dangerous.
Speaking of games, this is an issue i've been having for half an year now and no one has been able to tell why. Sometimes when i start a game, my connection fails, it gives me a DNS-related error, the ping test gives me a "timed out" error until i re-connect the wi-fi adapter or close the game. This also happens when i plug in a peripheral such as an external hard drive, however that is not always the case.
My biggest fear is that my components are failing, they were quite expensive and i can't replace them. Do they fail easily? is there anything i can do to check if they are failing?
I'm writing this in a rush so if there's anything confusing please tell me so i can explain it better.
Any help is appreciated!
@EDIT: i've formatted about 2 weeks ago. I have not updated any driver except for the graphic cards driver. I didn't touch any driver related to the motherboard or CPU or anything besides the GPU
My specs are:
I5-7400 @3.0GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
16GB RAM
H110M-S2V GIGABYTE Motherboard
Windows 10 Pro 64bits
