Games causing windows to run extremely slowly.

[Bulldog651]

Hi guys,

 

Today I booted up my PC to play PUBG, I started loading the game then realised that it was booting very slowly, I tried to tab out into windows and use my second monitor which took around 3 seconds to respond each time, when I finally got to the title screen of the game it was running at 3 Fps. I opened task manager and hardware monitor only to find the usage of my CPU, RAM and GPU was normal, all components were also running at the correct speed and temperature. I closed PUBG and after around 20 seconds the windows slow down had stopped. I rebooted my PC only to find it did not make a difference. Next I tried running CS:GO which ran at a very slow 79 fps in menu and took much longer than usual to load into game, however when I got into game it and windows ran as normal. Also if it makes a difference I just install a new CPU , motherboard and RAM about three weeks ago but it has been running fine up until now. I don't know what is causing this to happen and any help would be greatly appreciated. 

 

System Specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 1600 Overclocked to 3.9GHz

RAM: Corsair vengeance 8GB DDR4 (1x8GB)

Motherboard: MSI AM4 B350 Tomahawk Artic

GPU: Zotac GTX 970 Dual Fan

PSU: Corsair CX500

SSD: Samsung 840 evo 120GB (which hold operating system)

HDD1: WD Blue 500GB (Steam Games)

 

Thanks.

Did you resintall windows on CPU change? I never tried doing waht you did but people say this is necessary and it kind of makes sense to me.

No I didn't I just plugged my SSD into the new motherboard which has seemed to work fine until today.

I did that so often and it never was a problem. In fact that is how I install windows. I just clone drives

I also have never had a problem with it, do you have a suggestion on what it could be?

No, not really.
I would go the easiest route and see if CrystalDiskInfo reports any problems with your HDD/SSD.

So my SSD said it was good (100%) but my 500GB hard drive got a caution.

Not the end of the world and probably not the cause for the Problem you have, but I suggest backing up the data on that drive and replacing it if possible.

 

Here is someone who had a very similar issue regarding the drive:

Maybe that helps you.

 

Back to the original problem:

ehh... No idea really. Maybe a memory problem?

I don't really know how to help you with that, sorry =/
