Hi everyone, I've been having an issue with my pc for the past couple of day, to put it short I basically had to buy a new power supply (and GPU) so because of it I haven't been able to use it until 2 days ago when the components arrived. Thing is, after testing it out it turns out that for whatever reason the loadig times are abnormal to say the least, things like a bot practice match in Rocket League or the initial loading screen or FIFA takes AGES, I've also noticed how the hard drive usage spikes to 100% with "SYSTEM" being the process using the most out of it, needless to say this didn't happen before and despite using an HDD the loading times were alright, same as with the overall general performance.... So my question is, why is this happening and how could I possibly solve it? Thanks to everyone in advance for their help!

 

MY RIG:

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600

Motherboard: Asus PRIME A520M-K

GPU: Zotac RTX 2060

RAM: Crucial 16 GB (Don't know the specific model)

Power Supply: XPG PYLON 750W

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB

...are you using a HDD as your boot drive? Get a cheap SSD with a DRAM cache, they're maybe 50 USD for a fairly large one and the difference is night and day.

But besides that, did you uninstall the previous GPUs drivers before installing the new card? The old ones might cause some trouble if they're still installed.

I will find your Laptop thread and I will recommend an ITX build instead

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sure would be neat if there was something useful here, eh?

Im already getting myself a new SSD because of that day and night difference, but I'd love to fix this until it arrives since I cannot basically play anything. 

As for your question, all I did was install the new GPU and do a clean installation of the drivers first through Geforce Experience and latter manually. (I had a few crashes and the error basically said to reinstall the gpu drivers, haven't had any issues ever since and the performance has been great in terms of temps, usage and FPS)
