Hello people. I recently finished building my first rig. I have:
i3 8100,
msi b360m mortar,
msi gtx 1060 3gb gamingx,
teamgroup 8gb 2400mhz,
kingston a400 480gb,
seagate barracuda 2tb
corsair vs650 gold
When i first set it up, i was instantly disappointed to see that it wasn't faster in any aspect than my old potato pc. Then, problems started building up. Constant freezing, unusual slowness, not responding in the most banal apps and programs, like task manager and control panel. The boot times were terrible, 3-4 times slower than my old pc. And then, when i started testing games, the mess got messier. Constant freezing (every 10-20 sec) , absolutely constant stuttering and framedrops (every 2-3 seconds), and playing games with something in the background, like an unzip or torrent or installation is out of the question, it simply cant face the pressure. The only thing i managed to enjoy so far with this waste of money is the loading time in games.
I have so much anger and frustration because of this, and also because of the fact that i do not know whats causing this. I ran benchmarks after benchmarks, tests, everything i could find on google and on this forum. Everything looks good on paper.
Until I ran the windows system check utility. In cmd, you type sfc /scannow. My cpu was at 100% sharp, without any drops, the whole process. I ran the same command on my brother's laptop which is using an i7-7700hq, which again, is still slower and weaker on paper than an i3 8100.guess what. His cpu was at 18% the whole time. I then ran the same command on my old potato pc which i mentioned at the beginning, which is rocking an i7-4550u (2 cores, 2 threads, 2.6ghz or smth like that). And again guess what. The cpu was at 36% the whole time.
Should i ask for a refund? Is it because of the windows or anything software wise?
Please help. Im really sad because i just want to enjoy this computer without having to worry about stuff and i also spent a lot of money on it...
