PC Wont load programs

[iVeridian]

So my pc recently has started acting funny for a little bit it'll load programs just fine and then others it won't for example i'll be browsing the internet or doing something as simple as listening to music in iTunes and then everything will freeze for a min like youtube will stop, iTunes will stop playing music, and no programs will load but i can do stuff like refresh my desktop and like move my icons around so it isnt "actually" frozen because i can still move my mouse around so i dont have to restart my pc or anything but i hope you know what i mean and after that started happening my pc would take forever to load up and its basically a new pc by all means besides the hard drive i built my own pc i just cant figure this issue out maybe an ssd? or new hard drive? and also to mention i did reinstall windows after this happened and nothing got fixed it still happens if you could help me out.

OS: Windows 7
FX-8320
12gb Gskill Ram
XFX R9 280x
ASRock 970 Extreme 3

You know that CPUs heat up when you use them? That's why they have a cooler. So does 13C seem like the temp its really at?

You know ram is supposed to be installed in kits? Take out the 2 x 2gb and try again.

 

[iVeridian]

yes i know that ha i posted my spec details and yeah it does seem low is it inaccurate? if so i was unaware and maybe that is the issue

 

[iVeridian]

would my ram be an issue though?

 

[i7Baby]

Your mobo - http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme3/ - comes with a disk that includes Utilities including "ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU) is an all-in-one software to fine-tune different features in an user-friendly interface, which includes Hardware Monitor, Fan Control, Overclocking, OC DNA and IES." - which I use in my PC. Install it and use it to get the CPU temp.

 

[i7Baby]

would my ram be an issue though?

Yes. PCs are very sensitive to having the right ram. That's why motherboard manufacturer list the ram that they have tested as being OK. Its always in kits.

So only use a ram kit in your PC. Make sure you've got it in the correct DIMM slots - per your mobo manual.

k So the cpu temp is 36C as of right now and its not under heavy load so ya.

[iVeridian]

[i7Baby]

[iVeridian]

daaaaaang spoke too soon just happened again. :/ anything else it could be?

 

[i7Baby]

Download HWInfo and run Sensors. Post the results - usually 3 screenshots in TinyPic or similar. This'll show how your hardware is behaving. That's if it runs long enough.

What make and model SSD and HDD you got?

 

[iVeridian]

Heres the tuning software on my main screen

and heres HWInfo

[i7Baby]

Sensors is in the header of the main screen. Start it. Run your PC for a while. Then post the results.

AXTU shows your CPU temp and PSU voltages are OK.

 

[iVeridian]

do i just send you the loggin file when im done? and how long do you want me to run this?

 

[i7Baby]

usually 3 screenshots in TinyPic or similar.

Your CPU, PSU and GPU are all running OK.

Do a Checkdisk with Repair.

Run a Virus Scan (eg Avast, Malwarebytes)

If everything is OK, reboot into Safe Mode (F8 per http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode#1TC=windows-7) and do a Computer Repair.

What drives and OS are you running?
