Solved Problems with Graphics Card

Did the logs from the prework look okay?

Solved

I see you use Avast and Malwarebytes, and they are both enabled. When you reinstall Windows make sure you dont run two security apps at once REGARDLESS of what you read. Sooner or later it will cause issues that can bring the pc to a halt. If you want to have Avast as your realtime protection fine, but only use Malwarebytes as a non realtime second opinion scanner.

Call this a noob moment, but as far as the slow PC performance is considered closing down Malwarebytes(because it had real time protection on) fixed the issue. I forgot that you can't have two Antivirus running because they fight each other on protection. I have a laptop and the plan was to move one of them over to the laptop and keep one on my PC. However, I never got around to it. Then when Gus, posted the above quote it dawned on me. Shut down the one and the performance issue was solved. I don't really need to reformat anymore, though it would be a good idea considering I have had this PC for 10 years and because Windows is Windows. I am a little scared to backup the data and actually go through with the reformat. Ever since I got Twitch Affiliate, which allows me to make money through Twitch and streaming(Not meant to be a plug, is the real reason). I am scared to go through with the reformat. I will probably wait until I can get another HDD and clone it, this way I won't lose anything. I would rather be extra careful, than to take the chance.

As far as the graphics card issue, I did some research on the graphics card. It is common for them to run that hot. I tired to look up to see if Nvidia had any data on temps that the cards should run at, but could not find any. I just found posts of people and the temps they ran at, most posted temps that mine runs at. So, if someone can update me on that. It would be wonderful.

Ok, thank you. I am not sure if the malware scans turned up anything, now that I think about it.

I understand you are going to reinstall Windows and as such all your existing data will be destroyed. I scanned through your logs but there is no reason to spend much time on them if you are going to reformat the drive. Malware does not survive reformatting.
