Sudden computer performance decline.

As of today I noticed the computer taking much longer to load the few applications set to run on startup, compared to yesterday. Also getting audio crackling when doing something as simple as opening the browser, games performance also affected with longer load times and lower fps. Reinstalled audio driver to fix the crackling and didn't work, tested drives for errors and didnt find any, ram tested as well, switched drives from sata ports in the motherboard, PSU has more wattage than the system requires so never put to the limit. I honestly have no idea what's wrong with this computer.

Does task manager show anything pegged at 100%, such as CPU usage?

Nothing was at 100% usage past the boot that's the only moment it showed high cpu usage. All hardware temps were quite below the risk thresholds at all times so I ruled out throttling as well.
