Hey guys, Im really pressed for time with my job this month so if this has been addressed, if you could please link it, Ill gladly review it.

Two days ago, my pc suddenly stopped wanting to load games. It will eventually but it takes so long that I know something is definitely wrong here. It seemingly happened over night also. Ive done my windows in house drive check and asus diagnostic checks but according to those, its not my drive (although I didnt let asus utility run for a very long time). Ive tried my graphics drivers and even OC'd my proc to 4.4 ghz on 4 cores. Everything works great EXCEPT for games. Its killin me. Especially with BF4 beta this week and game in a month. Please help!!

Also, Im currently playing ffxiv and when it does eventually load into game, the zone loads are up to 10 minutes. This started overnight with the main issue of the initial load time.

Specs:
Asus p9x79 deluxe
I7-3820
Corsair dominator 4x4gb 1600
msi lightning 7970
120gb SSD
2tb HDD
CM silent pro hybrid 750 PS

I would like to add that the sudden nature of this is what is alarming. Plus the fact that I pretty much cannot play any games due to it. Does it seem like my HDD is failing? Im running my AV and anti malware again but It doesn't seem infected and this isn't my first run with the AV. Im thinking of getting a Samsung 840 for my games and another HDD for my simple storage while also reinstalling windows but Id want to know that this will remedy this situation first.
