Thursday someone took control of my computer remotely and after some digging we figured out it was because I had Chrome Remote Desktop constantly open and my email most likely got compromised giving them access, that's all said and done.
I did a clean wipe that night on my hard drive and SSD and all was well.
Last night, while playing Rocket League my FPS started dipping from 170 to 80-90 and eventually locking at 30. I've watched my CPU and GPU temps, they're fine, it's not a heating problem.
My SSD is running at incredibly high disk usage constantly now (that's where my OS is installed, games on HDD) and what I'm thinking is that the SSD is going bad after so many clean install of windows. It's also at least 5-7 years old, my grandfather gave me an old laptop that had the SSD in it like 4-5 years ago.
When I tab out of the game my whole OS runs slow, as well as after I close it, it'll run fine for some time and then be crazy slow or freeze for a few seconds, and run smooth again, it's all random. The game never goes smooth again though until I restart my PC.
Does this sound like my SSD or cod it be something else?
Thanks for any insight.
Sorry I was panicked when I initially posted, specs are as followed;
Intel I-5 4690K not OC
450W PSU not sure what brand the
AMD R7 265
8 GB DDR3 RAM
I also have Intel HD graphics enabled because I have dual monitors, but I don't think that has anything to do with it.
I haven't opened my case yet, planned on doing it tonight to try;
Re-seating GPU and CPU (checking thermal paste)
Dusting it out
Reconnect all connectors
