My fps in all games has like, divided by 3 since yesterday.i have tried running malware bytes, doing a system restore, googling the issue, going into borderless windowed in some games, and making sure my power plan was on high performance, I used to get 130+ fps in Overwatch but now I got 20-50 on the same settings. A few days a go I played this game called Maize that froze my pc after 15 minutes to the point where I had to manually shut down and restart my pc. All my issues happened after this. One thing I noticed was that my GPU temp used to be 70 degrees (Celsius) and now Its always 40-60.
So, what happened?
SPECS
GTX 1060 3gb windforce
EVGA 750w
i5-4570 3.2ghz
8GB DR3 1600mhz Corsair RAM
Gigabyte H81M-H

The game itself wouldn't cause a problem on your rig, but not having updated and proper drivers will. It sounds like potentially the GPU is throttling itself / got itself corrupted drivers and then locked itself up.

First I would download both the InteL (support.intel.com) and Nvidia drivers and install them. Second I use a tool like ioBit's Driver booster to make sure that all the drivers are applying to all the different parts of the system. I can't count were the I/O Controller is still using a old driver AFTER I just used the Intel tool for example (kicks Windows!). Third what Antivirus are you using? I would suggest Avira, AVG, Panda and the like (all downloadable via www.filehippo.com) and make sure to run that as well just to...
