Hi, I've looked everywhere and tried everything I could possibly think of but I'm at a loss for what can fix my problem other than giving up.
I recently bought a new computer, link is here: http://www.amazon.com/CyberpowerPC-Supreme-SLC6800-i7-4770k-processor/dp/B00I48KV8Q
Windows is installed on the SSD along with all drivers.
When it works, it works. I can run games maxed out and there is no lag whatsoever and everything loads and works extremely fast.
The problem is when I restart it I've found I'm playing boot roulette, I never know if it's going to work well or not. I can immediately tell when I have a bad boot because it takes 10-20 seconds longer than normal, whereas when it works correctly it is almost instant. If it only took 20 seconds longer to boot and then worked correctly, I would have no problem. But on the bad boots it is lagging horribly and is noticeable even opening a web browser. It's unusable. Good boots seem few and far between as well. So my question is, how can I pinpoint the source of the problem, or solve it? Because right now it is unusable.
After troubleshooting it for a while I thought maybe I was just given a bad SSD and that's what was causing the lag. So, I bought a new one. Kingston 120gb SSD. Hooked it up with new cables to ensure that wasn't the problem either. Same exact problem. Is it my power supply? Is it windows 8.1 not being compatible somehow? Is it settings in my BIOS being incorrect? Is the hardware in the computer just garbage and I was unlucky? I am completely lost in how to fix this.
Thanks.
