I’m a beginner with PCs and recently built my new computer.
Mobo: Asrock z370 extreme 4
Ram: Corsair vengeance rgb 8gb x2
CPU: i7 8700k
GPU: Gigabyte 1080ti
Cooler: NZXT Kraken x62
PSU: Corsair HX 850i
HDD: WD 1TB (from old pc)
So when I first built this PC I had a 250gb Sandisk SSD I wasn’t too overwhelmed from my previous pc to be honest, everything ran okay for a while but it got progressively slower on my desktop, taking a while for things to load such as music, photos internet etc sometimes they would stop responding half way through loading. Once I rebooted my PC and it asked me for a suitable boot drive so I headed to the bios and my SSD was no longer there. I tried for a while but no luck. I thought whatever and reinstalled everything on my HDD. Still the same performance. 3 weeks later my PC shuts off altogether and my everything was gone from my HDD but it was showing up in my bios this time so I reinstalled everything again. 2 months later it’s still working with the same HDD but performance still the same. My FPS in games are pretty much the same as my old PC other than Arma 3 it’s all okay at 80 then when I go in towns after a while it will drop to 3 FPS, then 40, 20 and so on until it freezes for minutes. My temps average around about 65-70 but one thing I noticed in NZXT’s CAM app is my cpu load is always jumping from say 70% then to 1%. I didn’t know is it could be the motherboard because I cheaped out on it and didn’t really know if it was any good. I’ve unplugged and rebuilt the PC. My SSD was 3 years old and my HDD has got to be at least 4 years old if not 5 maybe more. Could this be Hard Drive related?
Thanks.
