Installing too many Games result in PC Slowdown ?

[Justn]

Hi everyone, Till now we all have heard from our parents that PC games gives virus and it slows down the PC ect ect.

I know its not true but in my Case I think it is True.

I re-installed my Windows thinking that Something is wrong with my Windows because my PC was running exceptionally Slow . After Re-Install my Windows, Everything was Normal . I was getting about 50 Frames on BF3 on Ultra but as Soon I started Installing all my Games again ( 180GB ) then I saw that my BF3 started to Lag . I mean there was no Drop in Frames it seems like my Computer was Freezing , When The Game Freezes then the FPS Remains at 50 and everything gets Normal for 3 to 5 min .

As there is not Drop in FPS so its not GPU . I know that my CPU ( Core 2 Duo E7500 ) is creating a Bottleneck but then why BF3 runs normal when I've not Installed those Games .

P.S - My Processor usage is about 70% when do Browsing and is 100% Constant while Gaming . A Core 2 Duo should not be at 70% when only Browsing Internet . Even Pentium 4 stays at max 15% while Browsing .

Please Answer

i dont know if this is your problem but once you fill a ssd over 80 percent capacity, performance drops off quite a bit

but I use HDD's not SSD . Does this apply on HDD too ? My HDD is not 80% but 80% of my HDD space is : 743 GB and right now I'm using 739 GB Its only 5 GB away from 80%

i dont know >.> i dont think it would be the problem either.

im going to make a second stab at it, you are installing something other than games that is acting a bit screwy with your system.

No, Nothing however I'm running Origin and Rockstar Games Social Club which Eats my Memory, Nothing else .

have you tried making sure that those 2 programs arent running while playing a game? (i realize that may be difficult considering they are for games.)

but Games like BF3 won't run without them :/ So I need them to play my Some Games .

try turning off the rockstar thing when you play bf3. see if that makes a difference.

try turning off origin when you play your rockstar game, see if that makes a difference.

Well Computer is Still Freezing but I noticed that my HDD light was continuously glowing . Is this because I'm using almost 80% of Drive ?

 

[neon neophyte]

could be. could be the drive is kind of slow and when you fill it up important information is being put on slower parts of the drive. (different parts of the drive read at different speeds.)

It may cause some slowing down issues. Have you tried defragmenting the HDD?

It shouldn't cause the PC to freeze though.

That sounds like a driver issue.

@Everyone, I figured it out . While Installing a Specific game It installs Nvidia Physx Driver and as I have a AMD Card so It was messing things up . I've un-installed the Drive and now everything is Fine .
