Lag issues

[joshoq23]

Hi,

I've recently been experiencing some lag issues on my PC. I have switched the case of my PC in the last 3 days but that is the only change that has been made to it in the memorable past. I'm running a fairly old rig consisting of a GTX650, an i5-4570 and 4GB of ddr3 RAM. The lag itself has been occurring on all applications and desktop. 

If anyone can help me out please let me know.

Thanks,

Well my basic checklist:

 

Does the disk or CPU hit 100% in normal use? What are the temps of the GPU / CPU?

 

If you have a motherboard brand software, uninstall it (ASUS AI suite, etc)

Check hard drive smart status (Crystal disk info)

Check hard drive speed (Crystal Disk mark)

Try to look for new drivers / updated BIOS

 

Drastic, but:

Reinstall windows

Make sure that you have installed ALL drivers and made sure that you have the newest version of windows by 'press Windows Key + R, type “winver” into the Run dialog, and press Enter' and make sure that it is version/build 1703 or higher, it gave me MAJOR improvements. If your build/version is not that, then use this to update, which is silly of microsoft not releasing it properly, but here you go: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

for any more problems or just to say thanks, reply

On top of this: for the new case, check if the PSU and system fans are clean - this could be thermal throttling from the move to the new case messing with the PSU

new stick of ram might help, how many services and apps running in sys tray....
