I built this pc not more than 7 months ago. About 5 months ago I tossed an ssd in it.Huge improvement. Like night and day. For about the last few weeks or so I have noticed when I turn the computer on or restart it it seems to boot fine. I see in the bottom right where the icon is for my network status the little blue circle animation that runs there while the computer is connecting to the internet seems to have froze. At this point I can look through files, view photos, etc. But if I try to run any programs nothing happens. I click on Firefox and get nothing. Click on it again, nothing. Then all of the sudden about a minute later the network status icon unfreezes and 2 windows (or however many I tried to open) all start at once.
Something is hanging up my machine but I can't figure out what. I have looked in the task manager while the programs won't load and see nothing using any ram or cpu. I have almost nothing run on startup. I also noticed if I navigate to a game folder to run a game, the exe file has no picture associated with it like it usually does (the assassins creed logo for the exe file, etc.) but when the hangup stops and I can run programs the icon appears as it should with the games logo.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I've ran Ccleaner, malware bytes, etc. No viruses that I can find. I don't know what else to try.
