Recently I have been having a problem with my computer. I built it 6 weeks ago, with these specs:
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 7950
CPU: Intel Core i5 4460
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 2x4GB
MoBo: Gigabyte H97M HD3
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
PSU: Corsair CX500M
Case Silverstone PS08B
OS: Windows 8.1, but I upgraded it to 10. (I'm having this issue on 10.)
As of the last two weeks I have been having a problem where when I launch my games they will just be completely unplayable until I restart my computer. For example, When I launch Minecraft the menu screen lags like hell. It takes 5 seconds for it to highlight a button once I put my mouse over it, and the animation in the background is running at about 3 FPS. Also worth noting is that when I launch Minecraft it fullscreens, then minimises, then fullscreens again, then minimises, then finally fullscreens when I launch it on a 'bad boot'. I know it isn't just Minecraft, as I have tested on NFS: Rivals and Ark: Survival Evolved as well. When I actually get into a world in MInecraft, I get about 2-5 FPS on a 256x256 texture pack where I normally get 200 FPS. (Yes I know that having 200 FPS with a 60Hz monitor is pointless, but this was just to emphasize my point.)
At first I just had to reboot once for it to work. As of the last few days I have had to reboot it twice for my games to work. I'm worried that the problem will worsen. I have run a malware check with Malware Bytes and Windows Defender and both of them have not found anything. In fact, I am convinced it is not malware because why would malware only start 1/3 times? As well as the fact that I've checked my processes and my start up files and can see nothing suspicious running or anything that I didn't install. The computer is showing absolutely no malicious symptoms either. I'm 99.9% sure it's not a malware related issue.
I've disable integrated graphics on the processor, so it can't be that. I think it might be an issue to do with the hard drive. On a 'good boot' the computer will restart fairly quickly. On a 'bad boot' the computer will take AGES to restart.
This issue is really irritating me and taking away the joy of having a fast computer for the first time. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
