Please help me with my CPU and GPU

Question

Hey I just recently did a wipe on my Windows 10 Desktop and selected the keep my personal files.
After this I there were some problems with my CPU and GPU and they started acting up when I wanted to play almost any game. I could not run CS:GO above 30 fps on the lowest settings when my computer can usually run the game at around 300 fps. This is the same problem I'm having with ALL of my games. I opened up task manager to see that my GPU was usually around 85-99% usage and my CPU was usually around 90% when loading the game then went down to 20-30% when actually playing. I'm not to sure on what happened exactly I updated my Graphics card drivers and my CPU drivers but no results. I've had this computer for over a year and a half and I've been able to run games like Arma 3 and Ark easily but this just popped up and I'm not sure on what to do. It is also not an overheating problem because I have checked my temp on my CPU and it is 30 degrees C.

PC Specs

Graphics card - Nividia GTX 1070
CPU - Intel i7-6700K 4.00GHz
16 Gigabytes of Ram
Motherboard - All I know is that it was made by ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.

I was going to ask if you updated the GPU driver, and you have, but did you do it via the clean install method?

Also, I wouldn't ever trust MS' keep my personal files method of formatting. Not even System Restore restores all files, as it only works for up to a certain file size, so I doubt their keep my personal files formatting works very well either if you have a lot of large files.

I prefer to put my OS on it's own partition. That way you don't even have to erase personal files or programs when formatting. My guess is your format didn't go well, and you may need to do it again. I suggest this time you make a partition just for the OS. 40GB is plenty large enough if you remember to install any files you can choose a path for to a different partition or drive. It's as simple as just renaming the drive letter of the install path before installation.
