Ok so my PC has suddenly started running extremely slow this past week. Here is what happen:
My wife was playing Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn when the game crashed saying "Graphics Card drive has crashed, but it had repaired itself. She then decided to restart the computer (prior to her restarting the PC she said it was running just fine as it always has). When I returned from work and started it up it ran normally for about 5 - 10 minutes. Then everything bogged down to beyond slow.
I have ran sfc /scannow and chkdsk with nothing returned (both scans took overnight). I ran scans with Kaspersky and Malwarebytes (some detection of malware so I deleted).
Still running beyond slow, I started running in safemode with all the same results. So I did a factory restore of the PC. Now it is running just as slow as before.
I ran a diagnostic from bootup and everything passed. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the graphics driver. Nothing works, it always runs at normal speed for about 5 - 10 minutes at start up then instantly slows down.
Here is what I'm currently running in my PC:
HP Pavilion Elite (HPE-500y)
Motherboard - N-Alvorix-RS880-uATX (Alvorix)
Processor - AMD Phenom II X6 1045T
Memory - 8 GB DDR3
Video graphics - AMD Radeon HD 7750
Sound/Audio - Integrated ALC888S-VD audio
Hard drive - 1.5 TB
Power Supply - Diablotek 675W
Everything is stock/standard for the HPE-500y with the exception of the Video Card and Power Supply
Any help or tips of what to try next would be a great help, thank you!
