Hi guys. For some reason, my computer seems to be very slow at the moment, with various programs often 'not responding'. It also seems to take a long TIME to boot up. When requesting for the PC to restart, if often idles, and won't restart. When playing music through Windows Media Player (for example), the music sometimes jumps/stutters when attempting to open Firefox, or other program. My PC is behaving in a very non-smooth way. Can anyone assist ?

I hope that the attached DOCUMENT will provide sufficient specs, relating to my PC.

Have you run a virus scan or malwarebytes scan to make sure your not infected with anything?

Have you checked your CPU temp and GPU temperatures?

Have you checked your hard DRIVE with crystaldiskinfo to make sure the drive passed S.M.A.R.T no warnings or cautions?

Does windows event logs warn of any issues?Hello. YES I did a Malwarebytes scan, and removed 4 threats found....however the issue seemed to continue. Also, please see the attachment for CrystalDisk results. I'm not too sure how to perform the other checks that you asked about. Sorry...
