It’s been 3 months since I have my new pc :

Intel Core i5-12400F 6 Cores, 2,5GHz

16GB of RAM

Geforce RTX 3060

The thing is, everything I do on my computer is so slow ! I freeze and crash everytime I switch between my different programs, everytime I try to launch a game, everytime I make something on my computer!

More than that, when I look at the task manager with steam, browser and discord open the cpu use doesn’t even reach 20%!

Everytime I launch a game that use a lot of ram and cpu I make sure to close my browser and every other useless programs but nothing helps!

Please tell me someone have a solution cause I feel like using a janky computer while it’s completely new.

The first one is my browser

    CPU temps? Could be throttling from cooler issues - sticker, not seated correctly etc or case does not have enough flow.

    SSD/HDD? If your running Windows or your games off a HDD that would be your issues.

      I had my pc built by LDLC (french company)they are really professionnal and are well known I don’t think it would be the issue

      ​

      I run Windows on HDD and have Linux on SSD but SSD with a lot of space is so expensive ! The thing is everybody in the comments are talking about SSD and it’s making me nervous gif

        While running Windows on an HDD will certainly make everything very slow and it’s a fact, it will not introduce freezes(at least long ones) and crashes. Sounds like your Windows installation might be borked or your hardware is not stable.

        If I were you, I would start with a clean Windows install, including the complete wipe of your system drive.

        Cherche pas plus loin, faut pas faire tourner Windows sur ton hdd, ça pue la merde.

        Un ssd de 500gb c’est à peine 30 balles par contre, pourquoi tu dis que c’est cher ?

        500gb c’est largement suffisant pour Windows, tes fichiers tu les stockes sur le hdd.

        A 500gb ssd is like $25 USD. You can keep the hard drive for general storage, but don’t put the os or commonly used programs on it.

        SSD with a lot of space expensive? What do you see as a lot of space? Like 1 TB goes a long way and that cost 40 € which for pc parts is not expensive at all.
