Win 10 Hangs on reboot and is extreamly slow from hard boot

[4DC_Resin_Smoker]

Computer initally boots up fine but then i notice that everying is running very slowly. Most apps / programs fail to launch but i do have some access to basic menus. While attempting to restart, system appearts to get stuck in the process. Waited 15-20 minutes for it to reboot at one point.

Note: Currently running an i7-4790'with an ASUS MB, Samsung SSD and EVGA 970 GTX video card. Have Malwarebytes and Avast Antivirus installed. Suspect that my system was hacked at some point last week as my Netflix account had an unauthorized password change. Got Netflix sorted out easily enough and havent see anything on my system after numerious scans.

Had this issue last week and was able to do a restore from a prior save. For a while this worked, however today the issue has returned. Tried the restore again only to see an unspecified error during restore (0x800700b7)... twice on both attempts with different restore points.

I'm at a loss as what i can do short of wiping and reinstalling everything...

Really need some advice...

Thanks in advance.

Did a shutdown while typing this and got it to finally complete. However the system on reboot is still as symptomatic as ever.

maybe an obvious question...but...have you checked your temperatures especially for the CPU?

Running the i7-4790S specifically for that reason.... The S model is the low wattage variant of the popular K model.

yes but have you checked your temperatures? it's a low power i7 but it can still overheat. i'm not saying this is likely the problem but it's good to check

what kind of power supply are you running?

Ok after a hard boot and waiting 20 + minutes the system is up and running. Scared to shut it off out of fear of another boot-loop.

I'd most likely have to reboot into bios to see those figures.... However i can say that the system is cool to the touch and the vetilation is very strong.

500W PS, thats been working great for the past 2 years.

It may be something to do with Vulcan RT that got installed last week.... Deleting it again!

just because the case is cool to the touch doesn't mean it's not a temperature problem. start with the easy stuff first. you don't need to go into the BIOS to monitor temperatures. all you have to do is download RealTemp
