HELP PC Suddenly EXTREMELY slow

[Radiant]

hey guys,

 

my pc just suddenly started going really slow (starting chrome takes 30 seconds when normally instant)

 

Specs:

i7 6700k

asus h170 pro gaming motherboard

16gb ram

be quiet 700 watt psu

silent base 600 case (reset button on front panel was blinking today, never seen that happen before)

WD 2tb HDD

samsung evo 750 250gb SSD

zotac 1070 amp extreme (overclocked +200 clock and memory)

 

memtest all ok

all drivers were the newest

virus scans show nothing

tried restarting, rebooting hard reset and so on.

 

 

it might be important, i was updating arma 3, when it finished it showed an error message and shortly after everything started to get reallyyyyy slow.

 

thanks

the usual, under 5% when on idle

Might be a drive issue; you may need a new SSD, the 750 EVO is pretty old

Internet maybe?

have windows on the normal Hdd because i dont need the fast booting, most games and applications are on the ssd but the games that are on the hdd also work fine. weird

nope, everything is slow, opening word or settings takes years

if you think updating Arma 3 may have anything to do with it, you might try to uninstall it and see if that works.

just finished un- and reinstalling arma, i might just reset my whole pc. havent done that in 8 months anyway.

It could potentially remove the cause, but I'd check more into your hard drive or other possibilities. Maybe a windows update? How are your temps?
