Hi Folks,
I have an Alienware R6 Aurora and overall its been a pretty good machine for me. However in the past couple of months I have started to have a few issues of various nature and I’m a little unsure on what to do to rectify them.
Sometimes when on Chrome, pages are not properly loading and I have to refresh the page multiple times for it to load. This only happens from time to time, but when it does happen it occurs on almost every page. Most of the time hitting refresh 4-5 times will fix it, but it never seems to load correctly the first time
I tend to shut down my computer 2-3 times per week, but when this happens I find I have to restart my machine for it to start working correctly again. I have great internet and don’t have any of these same issues when on my laptop. So maybe this is an issue with my wireless card?
I use Canva a few times a week, for fairly simple stuff such as Instagram/youtube thumbnails etc and my computer seems to freeze up and be fairly unresponsive when doing some of the slightest editing. I never had this problem before, but now it happens fairly frequently over the past couple of months. This makes me wonder if its a graphics card issue.
Chrome is fully updated, I’ve tried clearing cache but there is something wrong overall with the loading of pages. I’ve also turned off all extensions and I rarely have more than a few tabs open or too many applications open.
In the past week or two a couple of new issues popped up where Zoom calls are freezing (my end) and Spotify stopped playing and saying I was offline. So perhaps my wireless card is starting to malfunction?
I’m not sure if this is software or hardware related. I have Norton Antivirus and its not identifying any issues virus and all of my software / firmware is updated.
Sorry I know that is not a great deal to go on, but my overall experience is that something is not quite right, but I’m not sure what to do to diagnose it further.
All parts of my Aurora R6 are original.
Processor: Intel Core i7-7700k CPU 4.20GHz
Ram: 16GB
Windows 10 Home - version 22H2
I use my PC for my personal business so it does get a lot of daily use. I also use it for video editing (I create one 15 minute YouTube video a week for my business) and play the occasional game, but these tend to be games that might be a little less intensive on my pc (e.g. Civ 6 and Football manager).
On a side note, I am unable to upgrade to Windows 11 as my processor is not supported. I’m happy to upgrade if this could be related to the problem. If so what would you recommend I upgrade to?
Any suggestions? I’m at a bit of a loss on what to to next? Do I need to replace my wireless card? If so, with what?
Thank you all!
