Hello, so I was using my PC today just watching some Youtube videos when the power suddenly goes off due to the meter running out (yeah we still have one of those stone age paid ones).
When my PC comes back on, suddenly everything is slow as ****. Windows explorer takes a good decade and a half to open, a few 3D intense games suddenly have dropped from 110 fps to barely even reaching 10 and I have literally no idea what has happened.
I did some checking around, the CPU clock is holding steady at the normal 4 GHz that it's set to, my ram amount is still the same etc etc. I ran a few chkdsk on my main SSD and my main storage hard drive and they both seem to be fine. I even checked to see if the system files had been damaged, that too was fine. My temperatures were the same as they were yesterday also.
My PC is not exactly bad spec wise either: I7 6700k, Msi GTX 980 TI and 16 GB of ram on a Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3. I run a three monitor setup, two 1080 and my main ROG 2k 144hz screen.
At this point I'm pretty much out of ideas as to what the problem is, I did boot into my Manjaro distro to see if anything was amiss there however I didn't find any slowdowns there. Unfortunately I do not have any games or anything 3D intensive to test on it but everything I could test: opening and closing directories, reading and writing to both my windows partitions are as normal.
The only thing I can think of is Windows has gone and screwed up somewhere as the hardware itself seems to be fine, if anyone has any ideas that would be appreciated.
