So the first set of results are from today and the other set is from when I built the system. I noticed some crappy gameplay issues while playing BF4 and so I decided to run some benchmarks to see what was what and this is what I saw. I am baffled as to what is going on. It just randomly started out of nowhere. Anyone have any thoughts? It's obviously not the video card as those scores are pretty close, but the physics and the combined scores are leaps and bounds lower. Any help would be appreciated.

Download HWInfo and run Sensors. Post the results - usually 3 screenshots in Imgur, TinyPic or similar. It'll show how your hardware is running.

Do a checkdisk on your SSD. Have you got a HDD too? If so, do a Checkdisk on that too. Also do Virus Scans on your drives eg Avast, Malwarebytes

Down load and run memtest86 to test your ram.

Go through Control Panel, Device Manager and check all devices are working properly and have up to date drivers.

Is the pump and fans on the H105 running OK? What rpm?

I know it sounds kinda silly, but - Have you checked that you don't have some aggravating processes quietly running in the background and slurping up your system resources? When you first build a machine things are all shiny and new and typically the first thing we do is run the benchmark because we're excited to see what the results are. But over time you get more comfortable and start taking your systems performance for granted. So - Double check to see if you are/were running an unexpected virus scan, or if Steam decided to update your entire collection or something equally annoying.

Hi you don't happen to have your computer stuck on power saving mode do you?

Dude, you're awesome, it didn't even occur to me. Thank you so much! I feel like an idiot, but oh well, at least it's working again.
