I'm having some serous performance issues with my PC. First, here's the hardware:
MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 Socket AM3+ AMD 990FX+SB950
CPU: AMD FX-6300
RAM: 2x4GB of GSkill Sniper DDR3 1600 RAM
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
PSU: EVGA 600B 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX
Video Card: PowerColour Radeon HD 7870
OS: Windows 10
Symptoms:
1. momentary freezing for 10-20 sec during ordinary tasks
2. Occasionally losing hard drive from BIOS boot priority list
What I've done so far:
1. Checked all physical connections in case
2. Clean install of Windows 10
3. Checked hard drive for errors - none detected
4. Checked RAM for errors - none detected
5. Ran Hot CPU lite (to test MOBO/CPU)- no errors
6. Updated all drivers
7. Updated BIOS
Even after all this, symptoms persist. I'm really starting to think it's a MOBO/CPU issue. Any tips to help me diagnose the problem?
