What is wrong with my computer?

[daiv]

For the longest time now I thought I had an old HDD and that it was failing and I needed a new one. Now I've figured out I have an SSD (I just never actually checked to see what I had), and that it seems to be working perfectly (Although it is 5 years old).

 

Here is the SSD: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148444

Here are my benchmarks: http://prntscr.com/ey0y36

 

Do you guys see anything wrong with it?

 

My problem is that my computer doesn't get as much FPS as it used to, even though I havent downgraded anything, and my main problem is that my computer freezes for about 1-3 seconds random whenever under high load.

 

My build:

Hard Drive: 5 year old SSD

CPU: Intel i7-3770 (no k!!! everyone assumes the k)
GPU: Nvidia GTX 760
Motherboard: Dell OptiPlex 7010

RAM: DDR3 8GB

Moniters:   Moniter 1: 1080p 60hz      Moniter 2: 1080p 144hz

I would assume that the RAM could be higher or something if you have alot of background services running aswell.

Otherwise that motherboard looks outdated as hell haha.

 

Also 5 years with a hard drive (Even though it's an SSD) is quite old. But I don't think it's the main problem.

Make sure you clean the inside of your PC. remove the dust. And see if there is any difference. Thats the first thing i wold do.

Whenever Im transferring video files or just alot of files, my computer also freezes up pretty bad. I do always have 5+ chrome tabs open at one time though.

My side panel is broken and cant attach, since its wide open it gets pretty dusty and I clean it about once a week now so I dont think thats the problem.

 

Also i know you're going to ask, my temps are fine

It's obvious then.

Well not quite obvious. Under load doesn't mean only ram load it might me overheating or PSU issue aswell.

500 watt PSU but its coolermaster and someone told me I wouldnt actually be getting that much wattage.

Especially if it's a good PSU company then you shouldn't worry about it.

 

Since it's tranferring files I would guess the motherboard or SSD.

Do a stress test or just run some heavy games/benchmark and monitor the system with Rivastatic tuner. see if one of em reach 100% usage like RAM or DISK.

whilst setting up rivatuner I was watching a youtube video in the background. computer ended up freaking out, pulled up task manager and i see 99% disk usage.

 

This is weird to me because the crystaldiskinfo and crystaldiskmark all show pretty good results.

99% disk usage doesnt mean is a bad hdd/ssd

Try to find what causing it with device manager dont forget to thick show all user process.

I havent ran any games yet but i've done some downloads, file transfers, watched youtube, had 10+ tabs open, and I'm still getting the computer freezes, and the only thing I'm seeing is 99% disk, 85% ram, and thats about it. 

 

Could It be a power supply problem?

It does sounds like a storage problem. I'm not saying that's the only issue, but it's where you should start. 

 

I would backup any important files  you want to hang on too, as soon as possible. Get a USB Drive or buy an External HDD (reccomended) and transfer your files. 

 

Then, but a new SSD, doesn't have to be anything too expensive. I reccomend the Sandisk SSD Plus 240GB. It's cheap and gets the job done. Do a fresh install of your chosen OS onto it and see how your system performs. 

 

If if you are still experiencing issues then start looking at diagnosing other components. I would just say start with looking into the storage as it's one of the cheaper components to replace (also quickest to install and test imo) and most of your issues point toward a storage issue.

 

Hope this helps.

Your SSD may be fine and there may be some "bloatware" running in the background. See the little arrow pointing up in the right hand corner? click it and see if there are many programs. If so, Right click and close the programs you do not know why they are there and Uninstall them from PC Settings or the Control Panel. The best thing I can think of to speed up your PC is to start fresh with a clean install of Windows.
