OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4670K CPU @ 3.40GHz, 3401 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. P1.50, 7/3/2013
RAM: 8 GB installed (5.79 GB available)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770
Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty H87 Performance ATX LGA1150
I've recently been having issues with my computer's general performance. I built it during Spring Break in April, and it worked perfectly for several months. A around a month ago, though, I noticed that I was getting an extremely low FPS while playing League of Legends. I tested several other games that I'd installed through Steam, and while it wasn't as bad as LoL's drop in performance, it was definitely far inferior to how they had been performing at before. I also can only have around 3-4 tabs opened in one browser before I start to see pages taking longer to load than normal, lag while scrolling, and general overall slowness. I have confirmed that it's not my internet connection, as I tested the same browsers on another computer, and it works perfectly fine with 3 times as many tabs open in several browsers at once.
I have not attempted to overclock any of my components, update the BIOS, or reapply thermal paste for the CPU. I keep all of my software up to date, and try to download the latest available drivers for my hardware. So far, I've scanned for viruses with both avast! and Windows Malicious Malicious Software Removal Tool with both quick and full scans (found nothing), started regularly cleaning out my registry with CCleaner, unistalled several games and applications I don't use, limited the programs that can run in the background to what's absolutely necessary, used compressed air to clean out the dust from my rig, scanned for memory problems with Windows Memory Diagnostic (found nothing and caused my computer to shut down by itself after rebooting), and played with the settings of my fans while using various applications and games. I tried the solution in this thread, which helped but did not resolve all of my issues. I have also uninstalled Nvidia GeForce Experience, as I found out that it was partly responsible for the CPU usage spikes I was having and that it's not really as useful as I had previously believed.
