Hi!
I have a gaming desktop with 8GB RAM, an i5-750 processor and a GTX 760 graphics card, but everything runs really really slowly on it. ive owned it for about 3 years, half of that time i havent used it because its been so slow, but when i used to it ran very well without any problems.
I checked the RAM recently and realised it only said 3.93 usable out of 8, and i confirmed that the 3 RAM cards are installed through the BIOS menu. The system is 64 bit so no problems on that side.
I can barely run chrome tabs or any programs at that, because it's so slow. I thought it could be the processor at first because practically every game ive played on it stuttered every 5 seconds, but then games started crashing/not even loading so my best guess was to do with the low amount of RAM.
I have 4 more gigabytes of RAM arriving within a week but until then, is there any way i could confirm that its not my processor causing the problem, considering every game freezes every 5 seconds?
Thanks in advance for any help!
EDIT: i forgot to mention ive disabled any sort of RAM limiters other people who have had the same issue have mentioned, and the computer has been factory reset multiple times with no avail.
