Chosen Solution
Hello, Starting from about 6 months ago, there is a sudden noticeable lag when I am trying to open heavy programs and running games. However, the computer’s boot speed is not affected. My computer is about 4.5 years old. Here are the specs: Intel Xeon E5 2660 V4 2.0 ghz 14 cores G Skill Ripjaws 4 series 64 gb (8x8) DDR4 2400 ASRock X99 Extreme4 LGA 2011-v3 2x GTX 980 Ti G1 Gaming 850 Watt EVGA Gold PSU Crucial 1tb SSD (OS installation & Sketchup) WD black 1tb HDD (games) I ran the same Sketchup files and games on my laptop (Asus Zephyrus M gm501) but there are no issues. Sketchup File opens almost instantly and there are no fps drops on the games. I suspect that one of these might have caused it: Slow CPU clock speed - Hence needing an upgradeDying HDD (no issues found when I ran block check) - Solution is to upgrade to 1tb SSDDying RAM (no issues found when I ran RAM test)Registry errors At this point I am thinking on reinstalling windows but that is too much of a hustle. Any solutions? Thanks, Marvin
Have you: Done a full malware scan? Done a Windows Update to latest 1809? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software… Updated all drivers - IObit’s “Driver Booster 6” work well for me? Of course it can be a hardware fault, and never dismiss that possibility, but over the years (30+) I have found that drivers, especially video drivers, are the main culprit.
