    Question Why is my system running like a 3 legged hippo?

    My ssd had been slow from the very beginning even when I had less than half of the space occupied Some people put faaaaaaaaaar too much focus on the space occupied. Yeah, I might lose 10% off the possible speed but my SSD was running at 10% of what it should have been running at. That was not...

    Question Why is my system running like a 3 legged hippo?

    Ended up wiping the SSD, and doing a clean windows install and the problem went away. The problem shall remain a mystery I guess Although my SSD now functions as it should so I guess it was better this way, thanks for participating Here is the userbenchmark after fresh installation...

    Question Why is my system running like a 3 legged hippo?

    Agreed, but it has been that way for a long time so it isn't the cause of this EDIT: I just booted from my HDD and after 20 minutes it finally turned on aaaand.... THE LAG WAS GONE. So, the issue is with the SSD, or software on the SSD.

    Question Why is my system running like a 3 legged hippo?

    Sure, but that doesnt change the fact that both the benchmarks show that the CPU, GPU and ram are working perfectly

    Question Why is my system running like a 3 legged hippo?

    Yeah, I ran it right after booting up But regardless the benchmark shows it should be working fine yet it continues to lag https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/65312726 Everything im seeing is pointing to CPU being at fault, but because the benchmark came out clean the issue is software...

    Question Why is my system running like a 3 legged hippo?

    https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/65312016 Another thing I noticed, I tried playing Crusader Kings 3, and I was reaching 100% CPU usage BUT the temps remained at around 60C. This was happening while idling, and by no means should the CPU usage be going up to 100% on a 12900k while idling in...

    Question Why is my system running like a 3 legged hippo?

    I just disabled the entire GPU through device manager, the lag remains the same. The gpu is not the culprit example video of the lag on desktop

    Question Why is my system running like a 3 legged hippo?

    Uninstalled drivers, problem still persists Also launched in safe mode, still lagged Ran user-benchmark, which showed hardware to be running as they should, yet still games, browsers and other programs run incredibly slowly.

    Question Why is my system running like a 3 legged hippo?

    Temps are around 50C, which should be fine I haven't uninstalled drivers, but the issue exists even when not gaming so I dont think that is the issue BIOS most certainly is not updated

    Question Why is my system running like a 3 legged hippo?

    Yesterday, I decided to play CK2, but as soon as I started playing my PC got septic shock or something and FPS in games is terrible (valorant was running at 20-50fps), even dragging the cursor on desktop is massively delayed, starting and moving around on chrome tabs is laggy and UI elements...

    Question SSD keeps going to 100% use while idling, HDD usage is high even though a backup?

    Why is the HDD in use then when it is meant to be nothing more than a backup for SSD failing?

    Question SSD keeps going to 100% use while idling, HDD usage is high even though a backup?

    So I installed a SSD while back to replace my old HDD, but I have been running into issues of the PC freezing and the disk often going up to 100% use without doing anything at all. Another thing I recently noticed is that despite supposedly being just a backup device, the HDD is seeing...

    [SOLVED] Tiny black component broke off motherboard. Will it work?

    Just booted the PC... At first when I started playing a youtube video, my heart sank when no sounds came out of my headphones. Then I started fiddling with the mixer and then an incredibly loud noise came out and I was thinking that the motherboard is waterboarding my components or...
