PC sub-par performance, crashes, fresh hardware.

[XzzDSA]

Heyo o/

 

One of my buddies recently got a new pc with all fresh parts. (A couple of weeks ago).

They are as followes:

 

MB: MSI H110M PRO-D

CPU: i5 6600k

RAM: 8gb of something

GPU: GTX 1060

PSU: Corsair VS450 V2

SSD: OCZ Trion 150: 120GB

 

So he's been struggling with general high CPU usage in idle / browsing. Slow browsing, games crashing and while in League of Legends specifically he can not load certain web-pages like a Mobafire Champion build-page.

He's installed a fresh windows 10 64bit several times. I've even given him an install that I've been using without problems, and that brings the same issues.

 

 

I've not had the oppertunity to be hands on with his PC other than with Teamviewer. And for that reason it's hard for me to really know what's going on with all of the latency and not to mention the fact that I can't access bios or anything.

 

Here's what he's tried so far:
As mentioned, reisntalling windows 10 multiple times.
Installing fresh drivers, one for one, from manufactures sites. (Like chipset drivers, grafics and so on.).

He has been using this benchmark that I'm not familiar with, but I'll post some photos anyway for you to look at:
 

 

Thanks for any input!

Have you run a memory test? Memory is a common source of instability.

Download Memtest onto a flash drive and run it on the machine overnight.

well it seems memory is running above expected but cpu and gpu are running below.

 

I would have it's either a driver or a hardware problem.

Tell your friend he's made an incorrect choice of mobo. He has a 'k' series CPU (A CPU that has overclocking) and a 'H' series motherboard, a motherboard without overclocking. The potential of the 6600k is being wasted

It's not, it runs quicker than 6600 locked probably. Doesn't really matter, everybody makes stupid decisions.

Stupidity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different result

 

If you do it twice and it doesn't work, change tactics. There is clearly nothing wrong with the software part. One of the components is causing crashes and poor preformance.

Do as the Doroidbot says, this guy's the shit! He's helped me on multiple occasions and is usually right about what he says.

Right, I'll tell him this.

First of all, it's "Insanity".

Second, my friend is not very 'educated' on the details of how a PC works. So the chance of him installing something that he shouldn't have, or using a, somehow, corrupt windows installation, is rather high. This is the reasoning for trying to install windows several times, different versions. To try and uncover wether or not that would've brought any problems.

 

Btw. When first joining a discussion, maybe you should consider to not call someone 'stupid' as the first thing. Just a suggestion m8  Someone might actually get offended.


Anywho. Sorry for not being active and replying to all of your reply's. I've suspected the memory of being the problem aswell, but we had it running in prime95 for a few minutes so I didn't really think more of it (obviously this is not a genuine stability test methodology).

A little update on the situation though. It for some reason ran fine, after I posted this thread, up until today, hence I've not been active here.
So I'm going to suggest my friend, what @BlueChinchillaEatingDorito and @Droidbot suggested, and run memtest overnight and see if that reveals anything. - Just to be sure, we're talking this program: http://www.memtest86.com/, right?

Thanks guys o/
