Back in August/September, I had to re-install Windows because I could not figure out a sudden performance drop I had encountered. The night before I ran games like Bioshock Infinite with it's highest settings at 100+ fps, whereas I could hardly reach 10 in the game at it's lowest settings after the drop occurred. I also saw that running a video while playing like I used to do without problems) was not doable without stuttering in both. This issue has returned though. I would really like to avoid another re-installation on a bimonthly schedule, so I come to you for help. I have already tried a system restore to before the issue came back, I updated my drivers (CPU, graphics card and BIOS) and OS, did an ESET Smart Security scan for threats and found temperatures of 30-40 degrees Celsius on every temperature meter I could find.
