Question Pc keeps freezing

[carllovespotato]

I bought a new pc a month ago and this issue is now just happening... Most of the time when I interact with my browser, the pc keeps freezing for maybe 10 seconds. E.g switching tabs, making a new tab etc, can anyone help me out?


Intel 12400F
Radeon 6600
32GB Ram
1TB ssd

Please start Windows in Safe Mode. In Safe Mode a stripped-down Windows system is loaded, with only critical services and drivers loaded. Typically no third-party drivers are loaded. This does mean that you won't be able to do any useful work in Safe Mode, or play games, and many of your devices may not work properly (or at all) because their drivers have not been loaded. Your display will be low resolution for example, because you'll be using only the Windows basic display driver.

The usefulness of Safe Mode is that because it's s stripped-down system consisting only of Microsoft services and drivers it's very stable, so if you still get these freezes in Safe Mode you have a hardware problem. On the other hand, if it's stable in Safe Mode then your problem is with a third-party driver or service that wasn't loaded in Safe Mode. There is another technique we can use in that case to locate the problem service or driver.

When does this happen? Often when you first boot up your computer, there is an antivirus scan that can slow things down; right click on the taskbar and chose Task Manager". Check under Processes/Apps and Startup Apps that may be running and keep an eye on the drive led, which shows when the drive is working.

You also mentioned the Ethernet, I assume you mean your Internet connection. Is there a reason your Internet speed could be lagging? Is this a recent continuous issue, or is it intermittent? If you share a connection with someone else and they are simultaneously using the connection that can also slows things down. I would certainly look into your Internet speed, if it is an issue, find out if your connection is being throttled, and also determine when you're Windows updates or other files are being are being downloaded.

It happened just recently maybe a week.. my mom doesnt have the same problem😭 it just happens on it self man its unpredictable. One second youre fine and the next second its like you're using a 10 year old computer on 5fps

The receive thing just spikes up when its lagging so thats why i assumed its the ethernets problem

Explain "The receive thing". What type of Internet service do you have? Ethernet is a type of network connection using a cable; I assume you mean Internet and it's connected through Wi-Fi.

idk much about that stuff sorry but its connected to our router

Is your Internet connected to your computer with a cable or is it wireless? Does where you are in the house or the time of day seem to affect the speed? Pay attention to see if your mom (and/or other people) is using her computer (on the Internet) at the same time as you when things slow down. Some Internet providers, throttle or slow down their Internet speed when customer use is high during certain times of the day.

One thing that often solves slow Internet speeds is to reset (turn off and on) your router and Restart your computer. To determine if it's a Wi-Fi issue, try connecting your computer directly to the router with an Ethernet cable.

One way to monitor your Wi-Fi speed is using Task Manager. Right click on a blank part of the taskbar and chose Task Manager. On the left column chose Performance and Wi-Fi.

Okay, what color cable are you using (blue/yellow are the norm)? If your Internet is cutting out you may want to use a different cable.
