Hello everyone, I have an Intel i9 9900ks + RTX 3090 + 32GB RAM and my PC was working fine then yesterday out of blue my computer started being so slow , even hovering the mouse over icons is slow and laggy, right clicking has 2 seconds delay to open, opening a program has about 2-5 seconds delay, everything is very slow and I can't remember if I changed anything. Any idea why my computer started acting up ?
Things I've tried:
I didn't tweak any settings and this computer was working fine, I can't think of anything else. One of my HDDs in this PC is full, could that be causing this issue ? ( the HDD is full of media and not the OS . ( The OS is installed in a separate SSD )
Also the day before my PC became so slow, we lost power while the PC was on, wondering if that has anything to do with the issue ?
Things I've tried:
- Updating the windows to the latest ( I have windows update set to automatic and double checked and everything is up to date )
- Uninstalling and reinstalling some programs that known to cause issue such as antivirus and Razer synaps and etc...
- Nvidia driver is up to date
- Upon checking task manager the CPU is in use by 10% at most and memory 25% ( with Firefox using the most resources ) . I could not spot any programs that using too much resources.
- I boot the PC in safe mode and the problem was gone ( so the problem should be software and not hardware )
- I checked for viruses and ( I'm using Avast free antivirus BTW ) and nothing was found
