Question Can a failing gfx card cause windows 10 slowdowns?

[Towerslover101]

When playing games, video editing, using Lightroom or Photoshop my PC runs Blisteringly fast.

Yet switching between tasks or opening windows can take upto 60 seconds with a very evident lag /slow down

My system is a

Ryzen 3800x
64gb ddr4
1080ti
2x ssd and 4x optical hdds

Windows is running off the ssd

AND I've never had this issue until about 6 weeks ago, I formatted the drive and reinstalled windows but it's still the same.,ive also had the case open and all wires checked and replaced the sata cable for the SSD.


So that comes to the last thing in mind, can this slow downs be caused by the gfx card? Despite the fact that games can run in 4k without any issues and I can render 4k videos as fast as I normally do.

Thanks

I think you should test out your psu can you name your psu make because sometimes psu can cause shutdowns

Sorry I replaced the psu a few months back for a corsair 1000,im getting slowdowns, not shut downs

Sorry misread have you checked your usage on your gpu because maybe with Photoshop and such it can use so much power because mine is slow but got 2080ti but my games run smoothly

I've just checked and average around 20% usage with them all open/opening them "not rendering" but windows is like a snail at times.

Any ideas as to what is causing this new slowness? Thanks
