computer barley booting

[killzor21]

sorry for the long post but i want to cover everything

 

so this starts a couple months ago. for example i have steam and when i double click on steam it would take about 20 just for steam to open up (not launch), then about once a week when watching videos the video would freeze for like a 1/4 of a second and the audio would studder, now my computer wont even boot some times, it  gets to the motherboard logo and then black screens and i have to shut it off and try again, after about 3 or 4 tries it works out of no where,once it works no joke (i timed it) it takes my computer 37 MINUTES just to get to the windows sign in screen. any thing i want to do on the computer take 30 times as long, just launching file explorer take about 4 minutes, right clicking take 20 seconds or more.

 

i have scanned for viruses with McAfee and Malwarebytes they find nothing. i have test the memory with windows memory tester. i have checked for any weird programs that might have installed, nothing there all mine.

 

i have two suspicions. 1 might be graphics card because of the audio thing but its not happening any more. 2 a software problem

 

pc specs:

op: windows 8.1 64bit

cpu: amd fx 9370 stock 

Motherboard: msi 990fxa gaming

ram: 4x4 kingston hyper x fury at 1600mhz

graphics card: xfx r9 390 double disipation black edition stock

psu: corsair cx750

HDD: 2x western digital caviar blue 1tb

cpu cooler: corsair h100i v2

case: NZXT noctis 450

 

i have a feeling its a software problem so i have backed up some important files and i was going to wipe my drives and do a fresh install

possible hdd failure? maybe run some disk health checker thingy. good call on the backup.

To be honest it can be your PSU not delivering enough amps to your GPU , take the GPU to your friend and test it k. His PC to see if it is possibly GPU or PSU . HDD is possible but I never had problem with HDD like that but a similar one with my GPU not getting enough amps .

Why is your PC kicking grain? That's not good for General Mills or Kellogg's.

that audio studdering has stopped, now that my computer barley boots theres no more audio or video studdering.

 

i checked on pc part picker and it says my config only pulls about 638 watts and i have a 750 watt

My PSU is 1000w and I still had a problem. As amps and wats are different things . Check hoe many amps dose your GPU require and how many dose your PSU deliver . If your parts are fine just reinstall windows and good to go

i did some checking and my GPU requires 30Amps and a minimum of 550-600 watt psu

 

my psu outputs

3.3volts at 25 Amps

5volts at 25 Amps

12volts at 62 Amps

thats what it says on the box

 

even if my psu couldn't handle my gpu that still doesn't explain the EXTREMELY SLOW boot and application open times and the crashes right?

This really sounds like either normal Windows aging or HDD going bad (best seen when it takes time to load folder structure with explorer). I would vouch for reinstalling Windows, and if this starts again, change OS drive. At this point maybe invest to SSD.
