I've ordered a new SSD in hopes that it will resolve my problem. However, like mentioned previously, I installed a new instance of Windows on a new HDD and the issue was the same there.

The thing is, I have another freshly formatted 2TB HDD that I installed Windows on, and the problem was the same there even after a fresh Windows installation which has led me to believe it's a hardware issue. It's a very recent issue. Otherwise, I have ordered a new SSD that I'm going to move...

Here are the results with XMP. I'm not sure if the results here can really highlight the issue I am having because it really does come in waves. If I leave my PC alone it's fine, once I start opening applications, even chrome, it starts to seriously slow down.

I installed the RAM I'm using 2 years ago and haven't touched them or made any changes to them. The issue that I'm facing at the moment is a recent issue and was introduced after I installed a new HDD, GPU, and PSI. I used partition wizard to copy everything over to my new 2TB HDD, and at first...

I re-ran the test after rebooting and leaving my PC run without opening anything and this was the result this time. However, once I start doing things the results that I posted earlier are the results that I get.

Here are the results. Seems like it is indeed a problem with my Disk, although I installed a new one and that was having issues too.

Here are my specs: Intel® Core i7-9700K NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 16GB RAM PSU - MSI MPG A1000G Motherboard - MSI Z390-A PRO LGA1151 RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB The thing is, if I boot from an external SSD it seems as though I have no issues.

Literally 3 weeks ago it was running perfectly fine. Now randomly my disk is at 100% usage even if I don't have anything open. I understand it can seem like nothing is wrong, but I guess you're going to have to take my word for it. Even right now, for me to close tabs in chrome or to do things...

But as I mentioned previously, recently the performance has drastically decreased for seemingly no reason, and out of nowhere. There must be some reason as to why it's happening?

Hahahaha, well I feel like a complete f***ing idiot. I bought it on French amazon so maybe I misunderstood what I was buying. In any case, the performance remains the same. Do you have any idea why?

SSD HDD

Here is the CPU temp, doesn't seem too bad. Here is my RAM usage. I've 32GB so I'm not sure it's a memory issue.

Here are the results of running a CrystalDiskMark test on the SSD.

I followed this video, but having quickly scrolled through the article it seems like I had pretty much done the same things, yes.

I formatted the SSD and had since installed Ubuntu on it to validate that the issue was consistent across OS'. Shall I plug it in and run a test on it anyway or do I need to boot from it?
