Hey guys, before I format my PC, I used to run games and surf the internet with ease. After I format my PC, everything in general seems to be slower than usual when I am surfing the internet, watching videos and playing games.

I have tried updating all my drivers, Malwarebytes to scan for any viruses and formatting the PC again but I just can't seem to find a solution for it. I have tried looking online for a solution but everywhere I look, they have the same answer or maybe not well explained.

I will include my PC specifications below, I am not 100% what else to include so I hope this isn't enough:

Windows 8
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3450 CPU @ 3.10GHz (x4)
6.00 GB (5.90 GB usable)
64-bit Operating System, x64 based processor
NVIDIA GeForce GT 640

If I have missed anything out, please let me know but I am not a technical type of person so please go easy on me :)

If you could read the comment above, you would find out that I don't feel safe opening my desktop because I don't want to damage anything. Unless I know that this would help in some way, I would like to leave this option open for now and maybe try it when there are no other options.

Thanks for the help, do you think I will still be able to send it for repair if my warranty has expired?
