Hey,
 
So basically long story short, started happening recently but had long term issues with PC. PC currently seems to be messed up, maybe botnet apparently? My ram usage was pretty high for idle and in game, my windows is very slow at doing any apps, on Sunday and Monday, my audio died then suddenly the whole pc froze, only thing I could do was turn off/on. Chrome still does this glitch, where part of chrome kinda blacks out for a second and then bad to normal?
Main annoyance is now ALL games im getting 30fps or below, taskmanger saying using GPU at 30%, ram was high due to friend suggesting dropping 2 of 4 rams sticks due to it being the same sticks but different production dates (bought months apart) to see if there was a compatability issue. Cpu was nearing its limit as well.
Hoping someone can at least point me in the right direction if I do have some sort of virus, messed up SSD/HDD or something else.
Thanks

Welcome to the EVGA Forums
 
OS?
Is the OS up to date?


Nvidia Driver?
Nvidia control panel setting at default or ???

What software is running in the background?


Room temp?


CPU Temp - under load & idle? / How is it cooled?


GPU Temp - under load & idle?
 
GPU-Z "sensor tab, while under a load"
 
Fans & Speeds ?
 
Have you run the Windows RAM checker?
 
1) Scan PC for malware - plenty of free tools from the main anti-malware companies (download the tool on a known clean PC, not the one with an issue)
 
2) Boot into Safe Mode & test your PC .... any better?
 
3) Try a restore point yet?
 
4) If not a hardware issue, do a OS repair

OS 
In settings says up to date.
 
Nvidia driver
I just updated again yesterday to make sure, still 30fps (Did the manual clean install which friend said to do instead of geforce experience)
 
Background
Ones that I would run 100% most of the time are
Microsoft defender antivirus, iCUE, Razer Synapse, steam, steelseries GG. I do have the EVGA precision X1 open most of the time, so that I can change fan speed for gaming and such.
Theres a lot of others but unsure what they are, seem to be related to OS. Since I checked what 'Bonjour' was.
 
Room temp
NZ, getting into winter normally even with heater maybe 20C (68F) area?
 
CPU temp
Idle: 26C (79F)
Gaming: 50C (122F) Not sure, since don't pay attention to it anymore since upgraded cooling and never had a problem. (will have to double check)
Cooled by a proper threadripper cooler. Silverstone Icegem 240P
 
GPU temp (Hotspot)
Idle: 50C (122F)
Gaming: 70-95C (158-203F) Depends on game, will put fan speed to 50 or 65. More intense, put 65 and temps max out 95 when really pushing it but then comes down to like 80 area when not intense situation.
 
GPU-Z "sensor tab, while under a load"
Not sure, I do have a CPU-z but not gpu?

Fan speed
Auto. Gaming either 50 or 65
 
1) Scan PC for malware - plenty of free tools from the main anti-malware companies (download the tool on a known clean PC, not the one with an issue)
I have bitdefender and full system scan said nothing
 
2) Boot into Safe Mode & test your PC .... any better?
Should try that later once when I reinstall other ram sticks 
 
3) Try a restore point yet?
not sure?
 
4) If not a hardware issue, do a OS repair
We have reinstalled windows twice, transfer most accessible files from my drives, and transfered back after clean windows install. Solved some other issues with windows taskbar crashing etc but others remained.

Reinstall your motherboard chipset drivers from the manufacturer's website. 

Found two things which may be related? But I don't remember having all these problems with it, just some minor ones.
asically saying earlier zen arch had memory issues? 

Talking about ram sticks themselves. 
"compatible", as in, it has been validated at both JEDEC and XMP speeds WITH the exact board you are intending to use.
Is there a way to find out if the PNY sticks I have is valid? Does ask about if bought individually, which mine were. Bought maybe a couple months apart, but same sticks.

Have you tested your gpu in another computer to see if the low fps will follow the graphics card to another pc?

No I bought this GPU about 1-1.5 years ago from the friend, he has a bunch and this one specifically was from the PC his mother used to watch her tv shows... Yes I know its overkill 

I'm going to suggest you do what I said first. This will tell us if it's a problem with your gpu, or a problem with your computer.
