I recently played a game requiring a ton of VRAM, which sometimes causes crashes. Which until now has been fine, the most recent crash caused my PC to run insanely slow, opening any applications, browser tabs, turning on my PC etc. has been significantly been affected.
I've tried a full AV scan with Avira and Trend Micro (currently attempting with ESET) as well as a Malwarebytes scan, but have found nothing.
Besides this I've attempted to check my disks for errors again with no errors. What could possibly be wrong, and how do I fix it? Please do tell me if there's anything I'd need to troubleshoot, and I'll be happy to provide the information provided.
My current PC specs are as follows:
CPU: Intel Core i7 7700K
GPU: GeForce GTX 1070
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB
PSU: EVGA Nex 650G
Motherboard: ASUS Strix Z270E
Bootdisk: NVMe Samsung 960
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
I hope there's an easy solution to this, thanks!
EDIT: Sometimes tabs work at normal speed, and some programs as well, although very rarely
EDIT2: Once I crash an error message pops up from the game saying it's a memory issue causing it to crash, perhaps thats the problem too? Although I don't know how to troubleshoot this.
Temperatures are normal as well

How much free space do you have on the OS partition? – Alex – 2017-06-09T13:26:29.453
92GB, that shouldnt be a problem, other HDD has 756GB – Fractus – 2017-06-09T13:30:22.830
Most of the hardware besides PSU and HDD is pretty new (less than 2 months old), so I don't see how any of them could be a problem, could it be a problem with the OS? If so what can I do to avoid a reinstall of OS? – Fractus – 2017-06-09T13:45:06.617
What does Task Manager tell you in the performance and process tabs? Are any of your system resources (RAM, CPU, disk) being heavily accessed? – Service Manager – 2017-06-09T14:05:51.670
Nothing out of the ordinary – Fractus – 2017-06-09T14:24:04.923
do you over or underclock the CPU and change Volatge settings? if yes, undo this. – magicandre1981 – 2017-06-09T15:45:45.970
Did you check the SSD with Samsung Magician? – spike_66 – 2017-06-10T06:24:36.743
I had it fixed with a simple troubleshoot through Windows "Hardware and Devices" troubleshooting, although it has happened again now. I have no changes to CPU clock/voltage, and I have not checked Samsung Magician, I'll make an attempt at that and come back later.
EDIT: The troubleshoot fixing it earlier, isn't working now. – Fractus – 2017-06-10T21:44:07.823
