So, about a month ago, I do believe I was playing LoL when I noticed I was getting unusually bad FPS, I usually hang at a solid 60 all the time, and this game was constantly at 20-45. I thought nothing of it, because every now and then I'd get a game like that. This time it didn't go away. Every single game starts out at 60fps, and after about 5 minutes, never goes above 45. It still never went away. Later on I found out that this is happening on every game I play, even on very simple games like Terraria, it just lags crazy hard. Loading screens that took 2-10 seconds on some games now take upwards of 30 seconds, other games freeze for a second every minute or two, and so on. The only game that appeared to go unaffected was Dishonored.
I've tried: Checking for malware, viruses, cleaning my registry, defragging, overclocking AND underclocking (with MSI Afterburner(according to MSI, my temps and fans are normal)), dusting out my entire case, making sure the graphics card wasn't loose, checked for programs using a lot of memory (none were abnormally high), and reinstalled many of the games.
I'm on the edge of seeking help from Best Buy or something, and this is a last resort. So any help I can get here will be greatly appreciated. My card is a GeForce GTX 550 Ti, and if I need to post anything else just say so, and thanks in advance.
