I want your guys' opinions / knowledge.
I've been streaming with my current setup for about a year now but since Christmas it's been giving me troubles. When I stream I have about 3 to 5 programs running and I have 2 monitors and one TV plugged in via HDMI. I could tell over time my PC was taking longer and longer to open programs and would chug away at startup (7 mins to fully start up).
I have an i5-6600K Intel CPU, Asus GeForce 1060 STRIX GPU, ASRock motherboard and 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 Ram. All those parts are roughly a year old but the only part that still needs replacing is my HDD. It's over 10 years old lol. I plan on buy a Samsung Evo 2TB SSD, but I just want to confirm if this is causing the slow down and making things chug away and not allowing my streams to go live (it's causing my StreamLabs OBS to have errors like going live but not actually being live or audio problems or visual problems and it didn't before)
Also, when I'm trying to edit videos, the software will crash while I'm doing stuff after about 5 mins. It's almost as if I'm going to fast for the program to keep up.
Any ideas are helpful :smile_cat:
