Ohoy Mateys!
I am having some trouble with my gaming PC..
SPECS: http://
BTW, I got this CPU cooler, if that informations is needed: http://
How my task manager looks, when playing GTA V: http://
In PUBG, both the CPU and RAM goes to above 90%.
I have run some benchmark tests: http://
and http://

Before posting this, I have checked these threads, but they did not solve my problems:

About a week ago, everything was fine. I could play most of my games on least medium settings, though some games on low settings, like for example the new Battle Royale game - PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
Other games I usually play: Counter Strike: Global Offensive, League of Legends, Grand Theft Auto V and Battlefield 1.
Out of these 5 games, only Counter Strike: Global Offensive and League of Legends are playable, whereas all games used to be somewhat playable.
Sometimes even my webbrowser (Google Chrome) and music player (Spotify) are extremely slow, meaning that all my actions get delayed. For example it can take a little longer than a second for facebook to realize that I'm writing a message, and Spotify needs a little more time to change song, than usual.

- In PUBG I used to have around lowest: 40 FPS and highest: 70 FPS, but mostly around 60 FPS, and now I get around 40 FPS with a lot of drops to lower FPS.
- In CS:GO I do not remember my FPS from before this problem, but now I get around 150-250 FPS.
- In LoL I have capped my FPS at 144 FPS, which works fine.
- In GTA V I used to have around 50-70 FPS most of the time. Now I can get around 50 FPS, if I am standing still, but with a lot of freezes. When moving, I get around 1 FPS to 30 FPS.
- In BF1 I also used to have around 50-70 FPS most of the time, where I am constantly at around 1-20 FPS, even at lowest settings.

Some extra informations, that might be helpful?
Recent program uninstallations: AVG antivirus.
Recent program installations: Avira antivirus, Malwarebytes, Plays.tv and Resilio Sync.
Possible problems with the hardware: PSU has been making loud kind of "rattling" noises, but only sometimes. I can be on my PC for a whole day without the PSU making the sound, but other days, it will make the "rattling" noise for hours.
Dusted off: I dusted off the PC a few weeks ago.

I do not really know what more to say...
I have run scans with Avira and Malwarebytes, and no viruses were found.
I also used Avira's optimize options, which I feel like might have made my performance worse..?
I asked some friends on what to do, and they told me to try and delete my GPU drivers, and reinstall them, so I did, but it did not help.
I have checked if other drivers needed an update, but it does not seem so (Used "Driver Booster" to check).

I hope someone might be able to help me out?
Kind of frustrating when you can not play games, instead of studying for your exams! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Have you got a spare PSU you can try? Sounds like that could be a good place to start.

Yeah, I know..
However, I do not want to touch anything inside the computer, if possible, since I still have warranty on it until November this year. So it would be great if that is not necessary. :)

If it's under warranty, surely you can just take it back to wherever you got it from and say its running badly and they should look at it for you?
