I kind of agree with you, but since switching to AVAST caused the issue to at least kind of go away, it does seem to be the case, however I would say that the issue does have to do something with hard drives as I suspect what's causing the issue in the first place is windows defender / avast doing a scan before the program starts, just avast finishes the scan faster than windows defender, and for some reason windows defender takes roughly 1 minute to finish its scan vs about 10 seconds for avast. The question is, or at least my best guess at the question is: why does the scan take so long?

I unplugged all hard drives other than the NVME and tested with just the NVME and it happened then as well. And I missed that Jay video, but was he looking at launch speeds as well as ingame performances? Because this issue is specifically on the launch of a program and/or game.

Sadly this does not seem to be the case (unless the nvme is the source of the issue) However... I may have found the issue. I normally run AVG or Avast on my computer, but since I had heard Windows Defender is better these days I was trying Windows Defender this install and kind of forgot about it. I installed Avast just now and did a test and while it still does the not responding thing, it only does it for a brief moment and then the program start... "avast" improvement........... >.>

I have now attempted turning off Intel Speedstep, but there is no change. I have however noticed that when I have task manager open, everything gets flagged as "not responding" for the time that they are loading slow and then go back to normal once they have loaded.

Thank you, unfortunately only one of those I haven't done is turn off speedstep, I'll give that a try though.

I recently ordered an ROG Maximus XI Hero (Wi-Fi) and a Core i9-9900KS I'm reusing my 32gb of DDR4 3200 ram which are Corsair CMU32GX4M2C3200C16 sticks and my GeForce GTX1080. I have a fresh Windows 10 install on an NVME (Samsung 970 EVO Plus 250GB) and most of my demanding games are on either a 250gb SSD or a 1tb SSD while my less demanding games are on a Hybdrid 2TB drive I also have an 8TB and a 4TB drive where I store my video projects. Before getting the motherboard and cpu, my system was "snappy", no real issues other than when I wanted to stream newer titles, my CPU would constantly be at 100% use and the stream would become very choppy, I decided to try and grab a 9900KS to remedy this issue, but despite this being a fresh install, whenever I attempt to boot up anything on this combo, it's slow to start, very slow and will say that it's unresponsive for up to several minutes before it finally boots at which point things are completely normal again. As I've never experienced anything like this I'm honestly not sure where to even start diagnosing this issue, so figured I'd ask here. Hopefully someone here might know something.

Go into the properties of them then "Details", in the drop-down menu choose Hardware IDs. Should look similar to this: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1B80&SUBSYS_36FD1458 But if I remember correctly, the 690LC should be the USB controller for the CPU cooler

New computer, fresh Windows install, up to date drivers as far as Asus is concerned at least. Problem: Youtube playing on the second monitor, game playing on the main monitor, youtube freezes when game loads, example: loading into Dalaran in World of Warcraft causes youtube to freeze during the load screen until the load is done. World of Warcraft is installed on a 1tb SSD, Windows is installed on a 250gb SSD. Full system specs are as follows. Processor & Mobo: i7-6700K (4700MHz OC) on a Z170-DELUXE, Processor RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance LED DDR4 3200Mhz PSU: Cooler Master V850, 850W Game SSD: Crucial MX300 1050GB (530/510MB/s) Windows SSD: Samsung 750 EVO 250GB (540/520MB/s) Windows: Windows 10 Pro GPU: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming WATERFORCE 8G Browser of choice: Google Chrome A third hard drive is also hooked up a Seagate Firecuda 2TB (7200RPM, 64MB cache, 8GB flash enhanced) ODD: ASUS Blu-Ray Writer BW-16D1HT Main screen: Asus Predator X34A (3440x1440:100Hz) Secondary screen: Samsung S22E650D (1080x1920:60Hz) Also in the computer or connected to it: NZXT Hue+, 4x 140mm Corsair ML-140 and 1x Corsair ML-120, Corsair Strafe RGB, Logitech G303 Background programs: Discord, Hexchat, Steam, Corsair Utility Engine, GIGABYTE XTREME GAMING ENGINE, CAM, Origin, Battle.net, Skype, Corsair Link, WinPower Manager, nVidia GeForce Experience, AVG Free, Asus AI Suite, Asus EZ Update, Realtek HD Audio Manager Chrome Addons: Adblock Plus, Grammarly, HTTPS Everywhere, The Great Suspender, Google: Sheets, Docs Offline, Docs, Slides. The problem persists regardless of the quality of the youtube video being played at the time. (320p-4k). Windows 10 is installed in UEFI mode.

So I should get a smaller m.2 and a bigger sata ssd, instead? I primarily chose the m.2 for games since it's bigger and faster. Also, with dual 16gb dimms, I'd still have 2 slots leftover, way back when I was taught computer building, I was told it's always better to fill out the slots?

1. Budget & Location Location: Norway Budget: 40-50 000kr (roughly 5k USD) Preferred price list: NOK since I'm limited to purchasing in Norway, Norway's import taxes are too high. 2. Aim Gaming, primarily Overwatch and World of Warcraft, but will also be used to played any new games I buy as well as ultra modded Skyrim... P.S I plan on having this computer for 5+ years with minimal to no upgrades other than replacing coolers/harddrives when/if they fail. 3. Monitors I plan to have 2 monitors, one (Acer 34" Predator Curved G-Sync) at 3440x1440 resolution and one that has pivot capabilities for web reading, current choice: (Samsung S22E650D) 1920x1080 4. Peripherals I do not need any other peripherals, but if there's a gaming mouse better than the G303, I'm open to suggestions. 5. Why are you upgrading? Because almost 2 years ago my desktop literally burst into flames, at the time the store I use for computer parts were out of the parts I wanted and they had a 2 month wait time on pre-built desktops so I bought an Asus G75JY laptop, it has served me well but it was only ever supposed to hold me off until I could build a new Desktop. My current planned build is as follows: Motherboard: Asus ROG Maximus VIII Hero Socket-1151 CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K Socket-1151 CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H110i GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming Waterforce RAM: HyperX Predator DDR4-3200MHz 32GB (4x 8GB) ODD: ASUS Blu-Ray Writer BW-16D1HT Soundcard: Creative Sound Blaster Z OS SSD: Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB SSD Game SSD: Intel SSD 600p Series 512GB PCIe M.2 Game and Data HDD: Seagate Desktop 4TB SSHD Fans: 1x 120mm Noctua NF-S12A ULN for the GTX 1080 cooler 5x Noctua NF-A14 ULN 140mm for the H110i as well as the case itself Case: Cooler Master MasterCase 5 Now, what I am worried about is the power supply and if all of this works together or not. The power supply I was thinking of is the Corsair RM1000i, a 1000w power supply, however I used the cooler master power supply calculator and it suggested I only get a 500w power supply and I had issues finding any understandable information through google. I have not built a computer in nearly 10 years so this is my first foray into it in quite a while and while I am fairly confident I've picked parts that work with one another, I am not 100% certain and would like to make sure. I would also like input on the 2 monitors in question, in particular if there's a better UWHD monitor at or lower the price of the Acer Predator, primarily because the Predator is out of stock right now with an unconfirmed delivery date 2 weeks from now.

My current peripheral setup is a Corsair Strafe keyboard, Logitech G303 mouse, a small old mouse pad and cat ear headphones connected to a Blue Yeti mic which doubles up as my soundcard due to Windows 10 issues with my realtek onboard soundcard.

My thoughts on the projector are as follows. It looks like a very good piece of tech, especially that you can have it so short away which fixes one of the main issues that are inherent with pretty much all projectors and the small form factor is wonderful.
