Hello, I don't know if this is in the right section but I do believe this is more of a PC Gaming issue as it mainly affects my performance in games. Please excuse my lack of knowledge about computers. Thank you for helping me
.
For the past week, I have been getting dramatically lower FPS in games compared to what I usually achieve. For instance, in Minecraft vanilla 1.15.2 I usually get 200 FPS, but now I'm getting averages of 30-40 FPS. My main concern is that it may be a system-wide problem, I've seen issues across my entire computer this past week. Everything seems normal though, no lag when opening programs, no viruses detected in Malwarebytes, CCleaner, or Windows Defender, no internet slowdowns, etc. I've also encountered slower boot times on my computer, I used to boot up in maybe 15 seconds with an HDD (Which I know is not the fastest way to boot up.) but now I boot up in 30 seconds to 2 minutes. I've also tested other games such as Universe Sandbox 2 which was running at 60 FPS max settings when I usually run at 100 FPS.
Recently, actually today, I installed 16 more GB of ram into my computer adding up to 32 GB. I also swapped over from an old USB Wi-Fi adapter to a PCI-e adapter which boosted my download speed from 100 to 450. So I don't believe it is a problem with a lack of memory to run the game or an internet issue.
Here is my hardware info:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 6-Core
Motherboard: X470 GAMING PLUS (MS-7B79)
Memory: DDR4, 32GB, 3000 MHz, Dual Channel
GPU: Radeon RX 580 Series
Disk: 2 TB, 1.11 TB free
Monitor: Acer EB321HQU Cbidpx , 2560 x 1400 @60 fps
If there is anything else you need to know about my computer specs please ask, this is my first time making a hardware post.

What I have tried:
- Antivirus scans.
- Cleaning out my disk.
- Checking my fps in multiple games to verify it is not just a problem in one game.
- Turning off all startup programs to see if a program is causing it.
