Pc becoming super slow

[SquiddyButler]

I built my computer around the start of 2021, so it is fairly new, and I try to clean it as much as I can. But recently at random points my computer becomes super buggy, everything stops responding and crashes and it becomes unusable. Do I need to upgrade any part or what is happening? Thanks

I did read it, that's all the information I can physically give you. If I'm watching youtube on Google, Google crashes. If I'm playing a game, that crashes. It's unknown why, I don't have anything else but those open too. I know as much as you do, sorry

I accept that you might not know what components are in your computer despite having built it, in your case it seems plausible.

 

My advice is: yes, upgrade any part. Just pick one at random and replace it.

Before building it I tried to make sure they all 100% worked with each other, but thank you, I will try and to replace a part as soon as I can to see if it works. Have a great day!

Full system specs includes brand and model of the PSU?

 

What's the temperature of the CPU and GPU at the time the issue occurs?

Define crash, what's happening?. Black screen, blue screen, back to desktop, shut down without restart, shutdown with restart or smt else?

• CPU
  i9 10850k
• Motherboard
  Rog Strix Z490-E
• RAM
  Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB
• GPU
  Zotac Amp Holo 3070
• Case
  Phanteks P500a
• Storage
  WD Hard Drive
• PSU
  Corsair RM 850x
• Cooling
  Noctua NH-D15

  Those are my specs

   

  The temperature while using Google for my GPU is usually at 40 degrees Celsius and I haven't checked for my CPU. While gaming the GPU reaches around 55-60 degrees Celsius. Not sure about the CPU temps again, sorry. 

   

  What I mean by crashes is whatever tab is open/game it says *Is Not Responding* or something along the lines of that and it my screens completely freeze to where I can't do anything. Then after a while I am able to use my mouse but at an extremely slow rate. Once I turn off and on my computer it works fine.

Nope, I've been planning on getting one but just haven't got the money

Yeah, your HDD is definitely the culprit. Windows favors SSD's, so it just assumes that you have an SSD and then Windows tunes itself as if it was on an SSD. The more programs you download, your PC naturally becomes slower as it has more stuff to do. One tip I can give you is to disable everything in Settings>Apps>Startup. Should look like this: (don't mind the LGHUB)

 

 

Hope this helps!

Alright, I just turned all of those off. And thank you! I'm hoping to get an SSD soon so this problem goes away but I'm not sure as of when I'll be able to get one.

The status for all of it says "Good" Is that what I was meant to check? (For the HDD)

You are welcome, but your specs seem too expensive that you wouldn't likely have an HDD instead of an SSD. Is your PC a prebuilt? I think OEM's would only have such weird configurations without an SSD, but it is okay if you are a first time builder and didn't know what was the difference between an HDD and a SSD. Everyone (should) learn from mistakes

I built my computer with all the parts, I knew about the SSD but it was either between a 50$ HDD or a 110$ or so SSD, and since I was already spending so much money i though it would be fine to go with the HDD, guess I was wrong haha

Yeah, but basically you built a sportscar only to run it on used frying oil by opting for HDD for the system.
