Hello TH users,
I have never posted here because I usually find my problem answered in a different thread but this time I have run out of options.
Chrome:
Basically it started around 4 weeks ago. My PC started getting lags- I first noticed it opening new tabs in chrome- would take up to 10 seconds to "load", i.e. all tabs blank and the PC lags massively. I deactivated addons, reinstalled chrome, and tried firefox- same issue.
CPU:
I then thought it's the CPU- the task manager revealed "spikes" from under 10% to around 40%. That's not much, so I tried speedfan. The core temperature during a spike rises from 37C to 41C max, which again isn't actually out of the ordinary. I also ran chkdsk, and memtest (all clean). I updated my GPU driver, installed latest windows updates, ran CC cleaner, malware scanner, and my usual Antivirus program (Kaspersky Pure 3.0).
SSD?:
The Resource monitor shows the disk usage to jump to 100% during the jumps. Also, I noticed that the only PC game I have trouble with is World of Warcraft (game crashes during busy raids), and that is the only one I have installed on my SSD. All other games (with steam) are on my HDD (windows is installed on my SSD).
Other things I have tried:
I never had McAfee/Norton installed, I did not do anything to the SSD (I bought it a year ago, this is still the first run without format), I have 120GB of 250GB free, My Ram usage is always around 3/16GB. I dusted and cleaned the inside of my PC, which didn't help either. I have ran a complete diskcheck with Speedfan which assures me the SSD is 100% healthy. So I am completely stumped. I spent a lot of money on my (custom-built) PC and I hope someone can help me/suggest other possible causes. I know sometimes hardware doesn't work together, but this beauty ran smoothly for 11 months.
Specs:
Windows 7 Professional
i5 3570K CPU
Asus P8Z77-V MB
NVidia GTX670FTW GPU
16GB(2x8) Corsair 1600MHz Ram
Samsung 840 Series 250GB SSD 2.5inch
Thank you very much for any help!
