Original Question:

Hi everyone, restarted my computer today after the power went out earlier and for some reason my machine is incredibly slow. Slow is actually an understatement. Apps won't open and they just bounce on the dock until I force quit them. I tried booting with safe mode and everything seemed fine. This machine has been running flawlessly for 4 years not sure what's going on. Any help would be appreciated. My GPU is a Raedon RX Vega 64.
