Hello, build is as follows:

5 year old PC, z77 extreme mobo
i5-3570K 3.4GHz
16gb ram
Windows 10
GeForce GTX 1060

Lately I have been only able to open one game/app and when I go to close it cannot run another one (or view YouTube videos) until I reboot my computer.

Example:
I launch Overwatch, play for an hour without issue, then turn it off and let my computer go to sleep (or not, doesn't make a difference for my situation). When I then want to play that game, any other game, or view a streaming video on my computer the application freezes or I get a constant loading circle on the YouTube video.

I've had the graphics card for 6 months but this issue actually came up 1.5 years ago, went away on its own, and has come back again. Any thoughts?
