PC slowed down quite a bit - trying to find reason
I am hoping somebody more tech-savvy than I can help me pin-point the problem of my computer - Just a year ago I was able to run games like COD4 in high resolution and it would be perfectly smooth, but when I tried it again recently it was very choppy... that's when I noticed my computer may have an issue.
I cleaned up my computer and made sure there is no malware / spyware, updated drivers, blew out dust, played with video card settings, but still no luck, and then I found your great tool hoping I can finally pin-point what it is that changed. I have pasted my machine's specs and results below, can anybody notice what may be off?
Many thanks in advance!
