New PC acting strange

[thaddeusparks]

Hello, these are my specs:

Corsair graphite 780t
EVGA supernova 850 g3
Asus ROG strix z370-e
G.skill tridentZ 16 gb 3000 MHz
Intel I7 8700k
nzxt rl-krx62-02 kraken 280mm
EVGA gtx 1080ti ftw3

So I built this a few months ago and about a month ago I took a big break from using it for pretty much anything

recently I started using my pc again and its been doing some weird things.

every so often when I turn it on my disk and sometimes CPU and RAM will be under super heavy load.

Also, my screen has been flickering. mainly when I'm watching videos but even when typing this it flickers every so often. it's not the while screen, it's usually just a porting of it like the top half or bottom half or a section in the middle.

also sometimes it freezes for like 10 seconds

Otherwise, it's been great, performs well in games.

I dont know about the flickering. Are you booting from an ssd? When you turn it on those can be under heavy load while it's loading. If you're using an hdd, an ssd should solve that issue.

I do have an SSD and it never has never done this before. I have had it for a while and its still about 50% open.
