Hi folks,
not sure if this is the correct thread, please move it if needed.
I have 2 PCs.
One 7+ years old (i5-3570, 16GB ram, 850EVO ssd for OS, hdd for files) with windows 7, that I use for daily tasks, office and web.
I then have another machine that I bought last year, mainly for photo/video work. It has Ryzen 9 5900 12-core cpu, 64GB ram, RTB3060, one Samsung PM9A1 SSD 1TB drive for OS, another for cache, another one for active files, and some regular hdd for storage. Windows 10. And with this PC I'm having performance "problems".
Example: I open a folder in windows explorer that has some psd files (1GB+ each) and some jpg files (100-1000KB). The view in folder is set to thumbnails.
When the folder is opened, windows is starting to build thumbnails for all the files in the folder (the green bar on top appears). If I then double click on one jpg file to open it in full view, the Windows Photos viewer will open, but with a white screen, no image. After 10-15 seconds, the image will appear. The delay is due to windows building up preview thumbnails in the background, I imagine. BUT, the same thing does not happen on my i5 machine. If I do the same thing, there will be 1-3second delay, but the image will open a lot faster. Like my new machine can't multitask as good or something.
Another example: when I double click on a psd file, photoshop will open in 2-3 second, then 2-5 seconds nothing happens, then I hear cpu fans ramp up, then the opening dialog will show up and finally the image. Again, a delay due to cpu/fans?
And it's things like that. My new machine feels slower, less responsive then my old, a lot weaker machine.
Even just clicking on one folder to view the content. It takes 1-3 seconds tostart showing the files, even in list or details view. With 12-cores, 64GB ram and fast SSD, I would image this should happens almost instantly, 1 second max.
Keep in mind, this work machine is clean, freashly build, only work software on it, has no web connection, etc. My old one is full of "junk", tons of programs etc..
Anyhow, anyone has any idea what could be wrong or what should I do?
Thanks in advance,
Mat
