Getting a lot of problems with my pc, and its brand new, possible virus? Or isit my internet?

At first everything was running smooth as can be, but just recently its started going slow, im getting errors in games, ie blue screen of death, missing dmv.dll files, games wont run, its doing my head in now as ive just spent 1500 quid on it, and feels like a waste, i love my pc but seems like a lot of money to spend for this sort of stuff to happen, i should be able to do ANYTHING without hassle for that amount of money

Hello what is the spec, list the hardware and software.

Did you build it?

Have you done a system test? Great thread on that here:

Not sure why it would randomly be getting slow if it's new? I'd just back everything important that you want to keep on an external hard drive and format it tbh.

As above Backup and reinstall windows make sure you have the latest drivers installed, check for any bios updates as well.

could you also add your specs as well

Unfortunately the whether you spend £50 or £10,000 on a PC your still vulnerable to the same things like viruses.

I keep a backup of c:\users\"username" folder and my fav programs on my d: drive then on a USB stick my Mobo/Graphics drivers and a win10 boot image. That way when ever my system starts playing up i can just boot from USB and format/reinstall windows in a matter of minutes.

A format probably isnt needed a lot of the time, but its so quick nowadays i just do it anyway and save messing around hunting for viruses and corrupt files.

Did you end up building this yourself in the end?

I see you have threads on possibly scratching your motherboard etc!?

I would suggest. Completely reinstall Windows, download the latest drivers for everything and then install an anti-virus and then test that for a few days before installing any games.
