Specs are:

Intel Core i7-3820 3.6GHz
64 bit Quad-Core Processor

Memory
16GB DDR3 1333

Hard Drive
2TB SATA III 6.0Gb/s 7200RPM

Graphics
AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB

600W xtreme gear

Windows 8 64-Bit

Raidmax Vampire Full Tower

120mm Liquid Cooling System

Asus P9X79 LE (Intel X79 Chipset)


This machine has started to run TERRIBLY SLOWLY after 1 month of use. I cant say that it is freezing, because the mouse still moves around, but nothing will load for 30 minutes to hours.

Even after i do a restart or manual shut down, the system will boot up, and then start running super slow.

Any advice?
 
Solution
check your RAM usage .

A rogue program may be holding on to RAM instead of releasing it .

Have you installled the mb drivers? , have you tried a fresh install of windows?

I have not installed MB drivers - i didnt do anything to the system after I got it. I will try that.

Any reason to update bios?
