    Basically, since about 3 weeks ago my PC has been lagging terribly while playing games/watching streams. Before this started happening I was able to watch a stream on twitch.tv & also play a video game at the same time with 0 computer lag. Now when I do it my pc lags to the point of almost freezing. I think this could be a problem with my GPU as it is not working as it used to. What is wrong with my PC?

    Run Task Manager / Performance tab

    start a game and see how much RAM and CPU is being used?

    Did you install any software around the time that this began that could be using resources?

    And also I did not install any software around the time that it began.

    are there any driver updates available for your GPU?

    Have you run a virus/malware scan?

    Yes but the update causes my screen to go black when windows boots & I log in. And yes I've ran a virus scan.
