ok, so this computer i built myself.
2tb hdd
gigabyte motherboard
amd fx-4130 quad core cpu
2x 4gb ram sticks total of 16gb ram
windows 7 ultimate 6b bit
pny nvidia geforce gtx 670
650 watt power supply
this computer used to work flawlessly.
i have plenty of other computers that have none of the following issues.
it all started with my computer going kind of slow. i was also trying to download steam games and updates from microsoft.
my steam gamesd were downloading fine at first, but after completing 15-25 games the downloads would just cycle through repeatedly or stop. when trying to restart them it would instantly stop.
a lot of my windows updates also failed.
i reinstalled windows. seemed to work....but then again after the first 15-25 steam games i had the same issue.
doing some research i found that it could be faulty ram, so i did a test. it failed. removed sticks (had 2 x2gb sticks with the 2 4gb sticks) and they happened to be the faulty sticks. did another test. it passed. no errors.
so i started steam. few games downloaded but then the same issue occurred....cycling and stopping.
though my computer is loading much faster, i noticed whjen im on the internet my net pages and downloads go extremely slow, but my downloads no longer get corrupted (as of yet) they just download very slow.
i figured maybe installing windows with faulty ram might have some how corrupted files from windows or drivers, so yet again i reinstalled windows. same issues. at first the games and net are fine for a while but then the net just slows down and the steam downloads cycle and then stop.
i had an issue where my audio kept popping up telling me a device was plugged in or disconnected. though i havent seen that for a few days now.
games seem to run ok.
i have done tons of scanners and anti virus at different times. macaffee, norton, avira, avast, roguekiller, rkill, spybot s and d, combofix, jrt, and many many many more. same issues.
there have also been a couple times i got a hard driver error. i think it said their might be bad sectors and it ran a test at start up. dont know if anything failed or not. but i doubt my hdd would affect my internet or ram.
i have removed the cmos battery and replaced it after draining the power. didnt help. though that was before removing the faulty sticks.
i really need help.
another thing i should mention is if i turn off m,y pc for a while and come back everything works fine for a little while. maybe 15-30 minutes or so.
