Posted August 24, 2016 I just got a GTX 1070 and a new power supply. I turned on my pc after installing the new parts and it worked ok for a little while. Then I just did a restart and now it is taking an insane amount of time to boot, log in, and in general do anything. The hard drive utilization is pinned at 100% (which I imagine is the reason it is running so slowly). I cant figure out what is wrong.

Posted August 24, 2016 corrupted drivers I bet, try reinstalling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 24, 2016 After installing you should have left the PC on for several hours for it to finish detecting your hardware and installing drivers. You probably interrupted something by shutting down. If the hard drive usage doesn't drop after a few hours of leaving it alone then you should try installing again.

For me it usually only takes a few minutes, but on a crappy laptop it can take a long time. It has to detect all the hardware and peripherals, search for the drivers online, download them and install. Windows 10 makes this easy by doing it for you but if you turn off the PC right after installing the OS then you can have problems.

I'll try turning it on and letting it run for a little while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you check task manager it's probably one of the windows svchost processes or something that's using all the disk. You can also try checking for windows updates and installing anything that is there.
