Ok, first of all I know this question's been asked a ton but I can't find any related to my problem.

It started running very slow after I moved it from my room to another room and I can't find a reason for why this happened. Yes, I have checked inside for any damage, made sure everything is placed correctly and everything is connected and also cleaned inside.

My specs :
Intel i7-4790 3.60 GHz
MSI GeForce GTX 1080 8GB
16 GB RAM
Windows 10 64 bit
Some of the games it started running considerably slower on are : Battlefield 1 ( from 80-90 FPS to about 15 FPS ) and Tom Clancy's The Division ( from 95-110 FPS to 32-29 FPS)

Thanks for reading and any help is appreciated.

I took out every piece from my PC, cleaned it and placed it back then I formatted my whole PC ( Not through the windows 10 bullshit which leaves you with windows.old that keeps all your viruses) and then reinstalled every driver either with DriverEasy, through CDs or from the internet ( for example GeForce Experience for my GPU) and it seems to have fixed it.
Most likely the problem was the drivers ( they were either outdated or not being used by the computer because of other drivers that were outdated and had priority I think).

Browsing isn't noticeably worse but if you've used the computer a lot like me you can tell it's somewhat slower. I'm moving my PC back to my room since I've only moved it because I had to fix something there, I'll see if it's better. (probably not gonna be better but worth a try).

Moving your pc shouldn't make any problems, unless you have bad wifi in the new place.
