So first of all, let's thank this stupid site for blocking me an access to my very own profile and for having to create another one, neat. OK, I'm done with crying, no more whining.
So I'm not sure whether this particular question should be put in 'Storage' category, but whatever, I'd say HDD might cause the problems I've been recently experiencing, but on the other hand, I'm not a techy or an expert, so who knows.
To be honest, it will take a while till I get to the conclusion, so you might want to skim this part 😀
My computer is a mystery to me. Since I got it, 4-5 years ago, I've reinstalled the OS at least 10 - times (usually I formatted all partitions, and executed a clean install), there was always some kind of issue and this was an easy solution for me, to start from scratch.
The last time I did this was actually pretty recently, like 3 weeks ago. I was having an issue, pretty similar to what I've just started experiencing, simply said my PC froze one day. And since that minute my PC was behaving really weird. It took about 10 mins to boot up, compared to barely half a minute normally; if I wanted to let's say run Chrome, it took another few minutes to open etc. Then after a while approx. 20 mins, it started to behave normally.
So that was the reason for reinstalling windows, to figure out whether the problem was cause by hardware or software. At the first I thought software was the one to blame for, at the end, I had no problems with PC afterwards. However I noticed that in a game, I don't think it is really necessary to say which one, or is it? Who gives, it was Rocket League. So I noticed that I got these, I don't even know how to call them, I don't think they were FPS drops, terminology isn't key anyway, so I got these 'lags', when FPS dropped to 0 for split of a second when I either was joining to the game or someone joined/left'. But while playing, the game was smooth, FPS were over 100 FPS with all settings set to highest possible option, there was no problem at all, so I decided to let it go.
Today, unfortunately, it was unbearable. I couldn't join to almost every game. Everything what I clicked in game in menu went with FPS drop to 0 for split of a second. Surprisingly enough, the game itself, like playing against someone online, when I was finally connected to the server was flawless.
I decided to restart my PC, perhaps it might be better then, and I got the very similar problem which I've already described in 5th paragraph.
I was really sad I couldn't do shit on my PC, especially when it's holiday and I have finally a few days off. Half an hour later, I booted up the PC once again to try to figure out what's going on, to at least give you an picture of this issue and now PC works pretty fine compared to what it was doing half an hour ago when it was impossible to even open Windows Explorer in 1 minute from the actual click. The PC itself still feels clunky, it still isn't working on its full potential, I can see the delay, but as I said before, this is hell of a improvement. The thing is I haven't done a thing, so we might be talking about overheating and such, but as I previously mentioned, I'm not an IT expert, so I've got no idea.
Thank you for your patience, and if you don't have time or you got lost in my 'essay' here you go:
TL;DR
- My PC is a bad boy.
- In-game FPS drop to 0 when I'm joining to the server or someone joines/leaves, but the gameplay
itself is flawless.
- Sometimes it takes my PC a few minutes to boot up and there's a few minutes long delay for
about 20 minutes, then it starts to behave normally.
- I assume HDD might be behind this, but TBH I've got no clue.
