Awhile ago i noticed that something was messing up with my performance, since i could play games with decent graphics on. Now i barely make it with minimum settings. Also some programs take way longer to start, close etc. Something must be wrong. I've scanned the computer with Malwarebytes', Avast!, SuperAntiSpyware. Everythings clean. Even defragmented hard disk. But nothing. Could someone please take a look?
