[SOLVED] Computer load websites/programs slow while tabbed out of game.

[Sticksnstones]

Hi, When tabbed out of a video game I have problems doing much of anything, such as discord or youtube. Everything loads real slow or not at all. Im not the most tech savvy and would like advice on what I Can or should upgrade to maybe improve this. Specs below. Also the game in particular is ff14 (not a demanding game) and run a program call ACT along side it. Thanks.

Laptop or Desktop?

HDD or SSD for your OS?

 

[Sticksnstones]

Desktop. Samsung SSD for OS

Desktop. Samsung SSD for OS

That's good. How much disk space do you have left?

How many sticks of RAM do you have? Whats the Brand/Model and Speed (MHz)?
How old is the OS install? Run any scans for potential Malware, etc?

 

[Sticksnstones]

62Gb of 500. 2 Sticks of Ripjaw V series 8gb (16 total) pc4-25600 dual channel DDr4, 3200 mhz. Os install would be about a year and a half. Have not run any scans lately, should do that.

Have not run any scans lately, should do that.

See if anything comes up.

Also you are cutting it close with only 62GB remaining.

A scan using windows security found zero threats. Do you recommend another anti malware program? I've had problems with programs such as avast effecting my performance, and found the default windows antivirus enough. And thanks, ill clear the some space on my ssd.

Malware-bytes is a great tool and it doesn't bog down your system like avast because avast and other programs are scanning and protecting your system. Malware-bytes while you can pay for premium and get that ability if you wanted, the free version you can scan your system every once in awhile and you'll be fine. Its not constantly scanning like the others.
