I have a PC with the following specs:

Processor - i7 4770k
GPU - GTX 970
RAM - 16 GB
PSU - 750W

My computer is running slow, and it can barely handle games on minimum settings. With my parts, I should be able to run nearly all games on max settings. What is possibly the issue?

Also, my PC will randomly restart at any random time.

Refer to this page for checking and eventually changing the energy saving settings:

It's a win7 solution, but it should be available with the same names on every other system.

To monitor temperatures, you can use either HWInfo or a combination between CoreTemp and GPU-Z. It's up to you, really; the former monitors everything under a single app, but is slightly more complex, while the latter two are very easy to use, but focus on 1 particular aspect only (namely CPU for CoreTemp and GPU for GPU-Z).

That's not much info to go by...
If anything is overclocked, revert back to stock clocks. Also check if windows has any energy saving options enabled and go for high performance settings (shouldn't be the case, being a desktop, but you never know...).

A couple questions as well:

- Does this happen as soon as you start the games? Or does it happen sometime later, after playing at the expected speeds for a while?
- Does this happen with all games, or just relatively recent ones? Have you tried with older games or lower settings?
- What are your component temperatures?
- What's the brand and model of your PSU, your motherboard and RAM?

Nothing is over clocked, and how would I check for the powersave settings?

1 - It has been running slow right from when I start games, not sometime later.
2 - The games run better the easier they are to run, but still not good.
3 - I am not sure how I would check the temperatures either.
4 - my PSU is the Corsair HX750, My motherboard is an ASUS Z97-A, and my RAM is the G.Skill Trident X Series (2 8GB sticks)
