Unfortunately my PC has had a few issues over the past month. First, BRUTALLY slow boot/run speeds and freezes only solvable by a hard reboot - most often happening when just browsing files and general stuff like that. Second, randomly crashing and rebooting when I launch a game (or, I get 1 frame per 3 seconds in game). The slow-downs haven't been an issue over the last few weeks, but every now and again the crashing is. Am I correct to think these are related to the HDD (slow downs/freezes) and GPU (crashing)? I'd like to get an accurate idea of the issue so I can consider replacements when they're necessary - after 4 years of college I've got a feeling there are just some things on my rig that need replacing.
Also, to my knowledge my CPU is running fine. Would an Intel i5-2320 (severely) bottleneck say, a Radeon R9 280X? If I replaced the GPU, that's what I'd be going up to (from an nVidia 560 [non-ti]). I'd love to rebuild my whole rig, but with starting law school I need to keep what I replace at a minimum.
Any help or knowledge would be really appreciated!
