Everything is Slower!

[ThePcNewbie123]

Alright, I just started up my PC today and I found out everything is much more slower than usual. It takes like 5 seconds with a weird fade-in type of transition for a website/app to open up, such as apps as Skype or Chrome. Also, the sound is really distorted and slow. I opened up a sound file to find it going at like slow-mo distorted. Its takes like 5 seconds for a second to go by in the sound file, making it really bad. I tried Norton Anti-Virus and it came clean, as well as unplugging and moving my headset to a different USB port, and even just restarting. If you can help, please do! This is really annoying!

SPECS: (Btw, everything was working fine the other day before)
Windows 10
i7-4770
GTX 970
12 Gbs Ram
400 Gbs left of storage

How much room do you have left on your C: drive?

What is your cpu usage showing with nothing open(control alt delete to open task manager)? what is your actually ram usage?

Doesnt; say on which partition, does it?

Another thing to check is what is running on startup (for Win 10, it's in the task manager -> more details -> Startup) and see what kinds of junk is there. You could do a hardware diagnostics test to see if something has happened there, like one of your ram sticks not working. I would also try the while, turn off computer, unplug (take out battery if laptop), hold down power button for 10 seconds, plug back in (put battery back in), turn on. If all that doesn't work, I'd try scanning malwarebytes, anti-virus (try bitdefenders boot antivirus), checking how many extensions / toolbars chrome is running, and do some general cleanup of things.
Hope this helps!
