What’s causing my computer to run slowly?
Recently, my computer has begun to experience performance issues without a clear reason. I've noticed a significant decrease in frame rates while playing games, particularly League of Legends, where my average used to be 100-120 frames per second – sometimes exceeding that – but now I’m frequently achieving only 58-60 frames, and occasionally dipping to as low as 30. My system specifications include 8 GB of RAM, an overclocked NVIDIA Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 TI with 4 GB of video memory, and an Intel i5-650 processor running at 3.2 GHz.
Can you provide a complete hardware specification, including the manufacturer and model of your power supply? Also, could you share the CPU and GPU temperatures along with their usage rates while playing games? Furthermore, please detail the memory, hard drive, and solid-state drive utilization during gameplay. Finally, would you run a malware scan on your system?
