(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The first couple months with this PC was great. Every game I played seem to run beautifully; from GTA V, and Battlefield 4 on ultra settings, to Minecraft. From the start of having it, there was a minor problem. Every other time it was on, it would act weird on every game. On Minecraft, you would skip forward when moving. On Sims, the day-and-night cycle would be on x10 whilst the time of day would go normal, but this could easily be fixed by restarting. But once you start it again, it's just a repetitive cycle. I'll try to get a video to better explain this if need be. Now since a couple weeks ago, this PC has took a downward spiral. Just one thing after another.

1. When you first turn the PC on, and you idle it for a few moments(Don't touch anything at all), it'll restart itself.
2. When you shut it off from the Start button, it'll get stuck on the blue "Shutting down" screen.
3. GTA V use to run perfectly fine on high settings, now there is low FPS and audio cuts and audio drags outs.
4. When I am downloading something, or moving a big folder while watching a video, the video will cut-out, and audio drags out.
etc, etc...

Now I get this may very well just be malware or a virus, but I'd like to know for sure before I do anything to my PC.

First things first,
Have you done a virus scan or used CCleaner?

If you want, I can Teamviewer your PC and see if I can find anything/work on it.
This doesn't seem like a hardware problem to me, I may be wrong, but It just doesn't sound like it has something to do with your hardware.

this really sounds like a software issue, did you try uninstalling and reinstalling the games, also are they on cracked games? that could be your problem

Tbh, I never thought of doing a scan for some reason. I guess I was so sure of thinking it was malware or a virus, that I just didn't do it. But, I did, and it found 2 malware. Though it seems like they are from a program I downloaded a long time ago. Before any of these things started happening. I wouldn't mind allowing you to look through my PC, I rather you do it for free, other than taking it somewhere and pay when I can't even monitor what they are doing.

All these problem occurred a bit after I first played them. And no, none of them are cracked; they are from Steam.

I removed the malware. But the problems still happen. 3 minutes into testing out GTA V, my PC restarted by itself.

EDIT:

CCleaner seems to have fixed the GTA V low fps problem. But my computer still restarts whenever it feels like it.

Oh, yea I'd do it for free, I'm not in it for money.

DL Malwarebytes free version, and run full scan
