Hi guys,
First time ever posting here, hope you can help me out,
I have built my pc about 2 years ago, used it for a year and then go a new laptop so kind of stopped using the desktop.
desktop specs are
i7-4790k + arctic freezer rev 2
msi z97 gaming 7
msi gtx 970 golden edition
2x4gb @1333(cannot remember which brand since it's 5-6 years old memory from my previous desktop)
2x8gb @1600 transcend memory
600W or 650W seasonic PSU (old one cannot remember well)
when I built it it worked smoothly and incredible fast,now after a year that I didn't touch I decided to use the desktop so first I dissembled the pc and cleaned all the dust it gathered (case was always open but it was on a table).
Anyhow, during the process touched the thermal paste so I had to clean it and put a new paste, I used arctic mx-4
after building the whole pc for some reason it didn't boot, didn't get any beeps, anything.
so i plugged out anything but the mobo, 1 ram and the cpu & cooler and reset the cmos, it worked fine, in the bios the cpu temps were 35-38ish (Celsius), **still no beeps though**.
i plugged everything back in and booted, but everything was laggy and freezing, task manager showed unreasonable higher cpu usage for every task.
all processes cpu usage was much higher than I remember (e.g steam was using 12-20% of cpu, when a year ago it would barely use 2-10% depends on the load)
I never had any anti virus,so right away scanned for viruses, but malewarebytes shown that pc is clean.
download performancetest and ran CPU test got ridicules low score (2200-2300 score, when the expected ones is 11000)
downloaded geekbench3 and this is my score http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/7683993
compare to my laptop score http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/7683839
I thought at first it might be the thermal paste, I might have placed too much, so I placed again a new thermal paste and made sure it's not too little and too much.
temps increased a little bit from 35ish to 40ish, and maximum temps I have seen were about 44-45 under all the tests and when ran and played GTA V for 5 minutes.
and right now I'm clueless what could have caused this and how to fix it.

Cleaned PC from dust after a year of not touching,
CPU performance worsen, lags and stutters/freezes.
Benchmark scores are worse than pentium ones
