Slow Supped Computer that is driving me insane

[Jordan Morales]

I am going insane, I feel like I've tried everything I can think of an my computer still gets sluggish / choppy / slow / annoying!
Explanation; I turn computer on runs fine like a champ, within the next 2-12 hours it starts getting slow and then eventually I'm brought to a crippling halt until I restart.

Basic Specs:
MB: ASRock 970 Extreme4
RAM: 16 GB DDR3
CPU: AMD FX-6350 (Vishera 6 Core)
GPU: Radeon HD 6900 2 GB
HDD: 2 - 1 TB WD Green (Can't remember) (RAID)

Things I've done:
Clean Install
Scanned Using 2 different AV
Windows Updates

Please help me before I go insane.

Perhaps try describing the symptoms in some detail and someone will jump in to try and help.

Often happens if your CPU is overheating. What CPU temps are you getting?

I don't think I've ever really seen it above 35 C.

Download HWInfo and run Sensors. Post the results - usually in 3 screenshots in TinyPic or similar. To see how your PC is running.

What PSU make and model?

Corsair CX600 aren't real high quality. But it should do.

Sensors didn't work real well - info missing. Happens sometimes with AMD mobos.

Can you get some info from the motherboard utilities (AXTU) that came on the disk with it? Your HD6900 (69??) seems to be at idle.

CPU package temp

12V, 5V and 3.3V readings

PSU: That's all I could afford at the time. My old one was a 480W and I didn't think that was enough. (So I picked one that was on sale.. heh.)

Your PSU voltages are OK.

Your CPU temp (32C) and voltage (1.004v) is OK too. But that is at idle.

Can you get temps while gaming?

My computer currently...

After playing movies, a game, and minor browsing.
CPU Fan1 Speed wasn't showing right at the moment of screen shot, it's 1923 RMP~

40C is OK.

Your CPU fan and case fans should show up though. Are they plugged into the motherboard?

The CPU fan and Chassis Fan do show up I just took the screenshot before it populated.

For fans I have Rear Fan, Front Panel Fan, Side Fan, CPU Fan. (All are 120mm.)

I was just looking around and found that my RAM is not on the list for compatibility.

I though all DDR3 RAM should be compatible, and since it boots it should be an issue right..?

 

[Jordan Morales]

So here's what I've done:
Wired all fans through motherboard.
Added second CPU fan.
Changed RAM down from 8x2 GB to 4x2 GB (4x2 sticks are listed as compatible.)
Found newer driver for optical drive.

So far that's it, I'm gonna let it run for a couple hours playing movies and games and see if I get any argument.

You also shouldn't have anything but a ram kit - that's been tested as a kit by the manufacturer.

The 4x2 Gb is a set. Is that what you mean by kit?

A kit (or set) is what you buy under one part number. It might be 1, 2, (3) or 4 sticks.

Gotcha. So I think this may have solved my problem. Does that make any sense to anyone?! (Thank you for all your help @i7Baby )
