Hi!
Recently, i built my new Gaming Pc. I have parts such as the GTX 670 and Intel I5 4th gen, but that isnt my issue.
Recently, i bought a game some of you may be familiar with, the DayZ Standalone.
Now like everyone i was experiencing some light fps problems and i had been fiddling around with files and whatnot to fix it. About a day after i had done that, my Dayz crashed. I rebooted the PC as it had gone completely unresponsive, and on reboot i found everything had slowed down. Loading applications such as steam and skype were taking an age, and loading Google Chrome seemed to keep crashing, so i restarted again. Everything seemed ok, so i went onto Dayz and played. Once i was done, i quit, and later i tried to play again. Suddenly, the loading time was horribly slow, and i couldn't seem to be able to load Dayz at all without a crash. I attempted to load Garrys Mod, and i got a slightly quicker load than Dayz but still massively slower than before. I kept to a routine of restarting and testing, and Dayz just seemed to keep crashing every time i tried to load, and Chrome seemed to crash at the slightest things like tabbing out and whatnot. I recalled that i had messed around with the Nvidia Control Panel to get a bit better performance in Dayz, so i reset it to default and it seemed ok for the first time booting Dayz, but on the second it was back to normal. I dont know what i did to cause these slow loading times for just about everything, but i know this isnt normal. I have tried running allsorts of antivirus software such as AVG and Spybot - Search and Destroy, and i have tried defragging my hard disk to no avail.
Toms Hardware has helped me before and im confident that i can be helped again! Sorry if this is in the wrong section, i wasn't entirely sure where to put the thread but it is a system problem as far as im concerned so i put it in here! Thanks!
Edit: Forgot to mention, my Ram is 8gb as the problem could lie there, but im not a computer genius so thats about as far as my hypothesis goes
