PC running slower after hard restart

[Elektro8]

Hi , i'm not sure i'm posting this thread in the right top.
So what happened is that i was playing a game.
And then i quit and as usual my graphics card driver conflicted with MSI afterburner and fans started spinning like crazy.It stops the moment i turn off the afterburner.
And sometimes i then get blue screen afterwards, which i got used to.
2-3 times it happened.
This time it got to blue screen.To 100% and got stuck.
I then pressed restart button on my pc and reboot it.
Since then pc is running kinda sluggish.App rasponsivnes is lower.
Fps is jumping down in all games.
even my internet got slower.
And loading images whether in browser or local also got slower.
Any idea what might have caused that to happen?
And any idea how to remedy that problem?
Checkdisk came out clean.

the blue screen you got, was it a BSOD? did it have a sad smilie face on it? If so, can you download and run who crashed - it will show us a summary of the errors and may help us fix the problem

Copy paste results here unless it finds nothing.

There

On Sat 1/28/2017 9:24:42 AM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\012817-11093-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: dxgkrnl.sys (dxgkrnl+0x22E0F)
Bugcheck code: 0x100000EA (0xFFFFC70A2ED12080, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)
Error: THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER_M
file path: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\dxgkrnl.sys
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: DirectX Graphics Kernel
Bug check description: This indicates that a thread in a device driver is endlessly spinning.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system that cannot be identified at this time



Yes it was bsod with sad smiley face.
This happens when i exit some game or watch videos , sometimes.But as i said when i close down afterburner it stops.
Thing is, if i after that enter my crimson settings.At that point it BSOD's.
If i don't touch anything it's fine.
Also i think that this is not the correct dump log, because that one got stuck and i did hard reset on the button.
But it's the identical one.Both times it was thread stuck in device driver and same things happened that lead to it.

Are you using the latest Crimson drivers? and if so - Do you have Relive installed, or are you using Wattman to record a profile? If the answer is yes.....then reinstall your graphics drivers and don't install Relive, and don't use Wattman. It caused some bugs for me that were similar to this. I think it may have something to do with MSI Afterburner and Relive/Wattman running at the same time.

I have latest yeah.
I'll see to it.As i have wonky gpu that sometimes if i uninstall drivers wont work at all.
And when i usually do fresh windows install screen is all blue and double until i install drivers.
I'll do that.Do you think that will fix that slowness or has that hard restart done some ireveresible damage or should i do clean install?

Well when I experienced the slowness similar to you, I just used Display Driver Uninstaller to remove all driver traces completely then I reinstalled an earlier driver that I knew to be working. (it is working with latest drivers since then - but the only difference is that i'm not installing Relive or using Wattman) Thats why I thought it was the root cause of the problems.

Also one more thing that is happening to me.
It happens when i do mostly anything.But i notice it the most when watching youtube.
Every maybe 30 minutes i see spike in CPU 2-3 spikes.
Maybe 25%
When that happens, videos kinda stutters , but not sound , but picture.Skips few frames in a procces.
Do you maybe know what that might be?

That sounds like it is caching data to the pagefile after buffering the video. Nothing abnormal there. Or maybe some other application is caching. How much RAM do you have? Remember that Chrome is a memory hog.

In that case, you should change the pagefile from Windows managed, to manual configuration. Read THIS for some insight.
