I had noticed that my PC was getting slower over time (one year ago) but I thought it could be the drives, so I ignored it. I bought all components in 2017, except for a GPU/CPU/MoBo replacement 2 years ago. The problems I have right now are:
-My screen often blacks out, and when it comes back this message appears (attached ss), this especially happens when I'm video-editing (often, but can also happen during light use) or gaming, the latter mostly makes the PC crash, but it's not that often.
-Games appear to run at normal fps, according to the Steam fps counter, but they definitely stutter and feel slow.
-PC is taking 30-40s to boot, and windows is on a SSD, used to boot up in 5-10s.
-WMI Provider Host is always on high/very high power usage, high/very high CPU usage and moderate/lower GPU usage.
-When playing heavier games like any AAA it sometimes crashes completely, and after reboot it'll behave normally.
I ran the chkdsk C: /F /R command to check integrity of both my drives (SSD/HDD) and they seem fine.
System:
-EVGA 430W 80 Plus
-I5 9400F
-MSI RX 580 8GB
-Gigabyte B360M DS3H
-16 GB DDR4 ram (HyperX)
-Seagate Barracuda 6GB/s 64mb 1tb HDD
-Adata 240GB SSD
BIOS and drivers are up to date. I also ran several malware tests.
If I had to guess I'd say it's the drives, but that AMD timeout message is weird, is there any way to check my GPU health to see if it's performing optimally without stressing the drives too much?. Also I don't believe the PSU is a problem, as my PC has been running fine (even during heavy loads) for 2 years, I could be wrong about any of this fo sure.
Thanks in advance!
