PC Running Slow, now doesn't boot into Windows after restart.
Yesterday I was using my computer as normal, playing some Overwatch, downloading a mod for Witcher 3, when it started to act really strangely slow.
My CPU usage was near 100% but from Task Manager there were no programs open that had high usage. Spotify wouldn't load a playlist and the current playing song wouldnt pause for a long while after I clicked the button. I tried to rename the RPCS3 emulator exe file in 7-zip but the renaming process was taking several minutes.
I figured I'd restart my computer, but the boot to Windows was slow and stalling at the spinning wheel, before attempting to repair a drive after ~10 minutes of waiting. I haven't been able to successfully boot into Windows since the restart yesterday.
I'm currently trying to reinstall windows. Is this a software or hardware problem?
My PC specs:
i5-3570k was OC to 4.2GHz, but I reverted to stock clock in bios.
24GB DDR3-1600
250GB SSD With Windows
2TB HDD for storage
