slow

Hi everyone! I am looking to revive a gaming pc that never really worked. I am looking to be able to run Windows 11 and run games like Hell Divers 2 and Hell let loose. These are the specs I currently have below and I believe one of the problems is that I never got an SSD? Or more of a CPU...

Hello everyone! I recently built a new PC and everything seems to run great even when playing video games, except multi-tasking drops drastically when gaming. I was playing borderlands 3 and for some reason I was streaming on discord for my friend and they said "it looks like a powerpoint" but...

Hello, I have a query about my boot disk, which seems to be unusually slow. My boot time is about 60-seconds, with the (C) drive running at around 100% for the next 60-seconds once booted. Understable that it's in use while loading apps, but I'm surprised an NVME is at 100% doing these tasks...

Hey all, I've been having issues with my systems being slow for the past 16 months or so. I say systemS because I started with an Alienware Area 51 R5 from 2018, and I've since (in the past 12 months) replaced every component save for the PSU which I doubt is causing system lag, but maybe? The...

Hello, I have a HX1200 modular PSU that normally has a few HDDs plugged into a single SATA power cable. I recently attempted to plug in a 4tb SSD with another (aftermarket) SATA power cable, but it would cause the PSU to not turn on. Upon removing the SSD, the computer would power on but it...

Hey all, long-time lurker searching these threads for tech advice, now I need some more direct help! I have an incredibly slow Windows 11 bootup: 100-200 seconds on average for a Windows boot, plus 150-300 seconds for desktop. Has been getting steadily worse over the last couple of years and...

Is it normal for a 3 year old "top model" laptop to struggle with online video streaming + browsing Reddit? I had a desktop for a while and when it was upgrade time (desktop from 8 years ago, ran pretty well but wanted to sell it while it was still sell-able) I decided to just sell it and use...

Hi! i recently bought a new hard drive and they dont seem to work but when i tested them on 2 other pcs they work just fine. And my pc has been especially sluggish recently, from freezing up to 10 whole seconds on games i could run easily before and annoyingly slow while just in youtube and last...

Software. I remember back in the day 1 GB RAM (around 2005) could load programs / do as much almost as 48 - 64 GB can do today. Many programs are written badly and it seems that my Core i7-12700H performs simple tasks like web browsing even a little slower than a P4 would in the past. In the...

I've had a weird issue for a while now on both my desktop and laptop where infrequently, let's say once a day or so, the whole system goes into extreme slow motion or stutter for about 2 seconds and then comes right out of it like nothing happened. This affects everything on screen whether I'm...

I got a very weird issue after I swapped out my HDD (possibly even before but I attributed it to the dead HDD). I have my system on an SSD and junk on another SSD or the HDD. When my PC is positioned vertically it often it starts to lag and the cursor almost always has the loading animation (15...

Hi everyone, Computer has been acting weird lately. I will run WoW or any game and then Youtube or anything video related is very slow, Facebook typing is slow and takes up 5 seconds to catch up every time you type something and now I've been noticing that programs won't open right away when I...

Hello! My apps do not launch instantly as they used to do. There is a small delay from 2-5 seconds, sometimes even more when I try to start something. I do not know what is going on here but I will be more than happy if someone can help me. This also happens with Windows 11 There is also a...

Hello everyone, So I have this issue with booting up my PC. It worked completely fine for over a year until a few days ago. Suddenly when booting up the BIOS outputs the typical Gigabyte screen, but then stays there for like 3 minutes, then it will start windows and the spinning circle appears...

Hello, I had my PC unplugged for a little more than 2 years and today I decided to plug the power cables in and power it on. The problem now is that it only get's passed the BIOS until the windows 10 blue square logo and the circle made out of dots spinning below it. I think it keeps spinning...

I'm experimenting with galvanically isolating part of my house LAN using a pair of TP-Link fibre media converters (MC210CS) back to back, connected to a local Netgear gigabit switch at the isolated end and the main Netgear gigabit switch upstream. The FMCs are connected using an SC OS2 Single...

Why do I get keyboard input lag when typing even when my cpu utilization is at 5% to 10% specifically when playing GTA V. Not that I'm annoyed by it, I just want to know why does this happen when components are low loads. SPECS: PROCESSOR - Ryzen 5 3600x GPU: RX 580 4GB RAM: 16 GB 8x2 DDR4...

I've recently upgraded my CPU and GPU yet computer still runs extremely slow as in most games like Fortnite run at 20 fps or so and the entire computer is slow and choppy I've tried many online solutions and they only provide minor fixes, any solutions??

I just installed a new NVME SSD (ADATA APSFG-2T-CSUS 2TB) into my laptop (Dell G15 5525 w/ R7 6800H, RTX 3060), replacing the stock one. After reinstalling Windows and installing a few apps, I loaded up CrystalDiskMark to benchmark the disk, but I am seeing some staggeringly low results: (The...

I'm literally running XMP 3200 on my bios, it says 1600 on cpu-z which is dual, so 3200 and yet on this benchmark my ram is extremely slow for some reason? What could be it be?

(Please IGNORE most of this, goto my comment #7) (this is while Chrome opens) While I canno't reproduce this, in the last month, when I turned on the PC, it would just stay on black screen, I waited 10 minutes and nothing, then I just decided to hold the power button(as my case doesn't have...

I've gotten a Samsung Expert X23 laptop a few years back and it was running everything perfectly. Since then I stopped using it for some time and now that I've turned it on again, it seems to be underperforming and slow for some reason. It's specs are: I5 7500U GTX 920MX 8gb RAM Not the best...

My PC is extremely slow. Booting, logging into Windows and waiting until the computer is usable takes about 5-10 minutes. Opening apps or games take horribly long and basically all games have massive lagspikes. I installed fresh Windows 10 a few months back. Specs: Win 10 Pro i5 7400 GTX 1050Ti...

I purchased a 2tb Samsung 980 pro m.2 and installed Win11 on it. I have updated my bios and have everything up to date (including win11) but for some reason the boot is incredibly slow. Around 2 minutes. Once it boots everything seems fine. I've checked the boot order and basically all the BIOS...

A few days ago it feels like my CPU just got worse suddenly. Programs seem to take up more cpu usage than usual, my mouse now becomes very sluggish when the cpu is maxed (I mean like moving slowly or not responding whatsoever). I wasn't sure if I was just imagining it or if it actually got worse...

My computer for the last month or so has randomly been throttled after being booted. Sometimes it starts up just fine with CPU speeds of 3-4.2ghz and run normally meanwhile other times it'll start up at around 1.1ghz base and get slower and slower if I decide to play a game. The only way I've...

Hi Guys! I brought everything new from store. From the first time I powered up my pc, it's always slow. It takes a lot of time to boot and when Windows finally starts up, I have to wait for minutes before I can click on something because it freezes. If I want to open something like Google or a...

I have an old HP with the Holly-2. That has a 1gbs on board network adapter in it. I upgraded the cpu and ram to max at amd 3080k and 8gb. I just built a computer with a b650 aorus pro ax motherboard with on board 2.5gb link speed and a ryzen 9 7950x 128gb ram. I don't know how to find the link...

Hi I have 4 PCs running Windows 10 connected through a (cable) Gigabit Network Switch - one acting as a file server and the rest as clients. Only one of the clients (The Threadripper one as per my signature) has considerably slower LAN speeds than all others, averaging around 20MB/s compared...
