    Question PC starts fine and then lags horribly

    The other day I turned my PC off as normal, and today when I go to start it everything starts okay but then it lags so horribly I can't open anything, and my cursor freezes as well. Usually Corsair link sets my mouse/keyboard colour a couple seconds after booting but that's not happening either...

    Making a whole new build using my old CPU and mobo, but keeping the same HDDs from their old windows 7 desktop. I was running windows 10 on with the old CPU and mobo. Just trying to figure out if there would be a clash
