Hello all,
So recently I had a power outage and my pc (pc specs below) hasn't worked well ever since this loss of power. I have had this computer for about 6 years now. I have windows 10, 64 bit installed with no previous problems with this computer. I now have windows freeze for minutes at a time making the use of my computer very frustrating. I tried updating windows, which didn't work. I tried resetting windows completely, this also did not work. I did a full system scan with antivirus software and nothing came up. I have noticed that if I am playing a video on youtube then the computer does not freeze, however, if I pause the video even for a second then the computer has the chance to freeze up. I tried opening task manager to see if something was causing my computer to run slow. I found nothing here but I did notice that when the pc freezes, the CPU usage jumps up 20-60% of its resting usage.
I am deeply at a loss for what is wrong with my computer. I am not sure if this is a problem with my windows software or whether it is a hardware problem caused by the power outage. Please let me know any info that may be able to help!
