Hello,
My games are running really slow after i restored to factory settings. I restored just to start new because my hard drive was filled with junk. I have no idea why this is happening and would like some help fixing it, thanks.

You want to go to each components website and install the latest drivers, factory drivers are limited and usually very out of date. The key one is going to be going to the nvidia website and installing the most recent driver for your GTX 770. The next one on the priority list would be to go run the driver detect utility on the intel website and install those. I am guessing your games are trying to run off of the integrated graphics on your cpu and not your actual graphics card.

Chances are you are missing drivers. Start by updating everything to the newest drivers and then report back. Telling us what your system components are would help too.

If you were worried about having viruses etc. you should really do a complete reformat and fresh OS install on your hdd.
