Hey guys!
Quick specs:
Processor: Intel core i7 5820K CPU @3.30 GHz
RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2400MHz
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
SSD: 250GB
HDD: 2TB
Graphics: 4GB EVGA GTX 980
Motherboard: ASUS X99-PRO
Power Supply: 600W be quiet! Pure Power 9
7.9 WEI rating.
I recently built this PC. It is supposed to be a super gaming and media editing PC, but it doesn't seem to be able to handle much at all.
I produce music in Ableton Live 9 and it seemed pretty quick, then I actually started doing things and it shows it's true colours. It's so much slower than my macbook pro that I've used until now and that was a mere laptop from 2012- it REALLY shouldn't be that my old laptop is quicker than my brand new build. It's a really good rig as far as I or anyone I've spoken to is aware.
Nobody online or anywhere seems to know whats up with it. I built it with a friend a few weeks ago and since day one it's had consistent problems.
List of problems:
- Screen tearing on anything I do. (I've tried v-sync, and a different monitor)
- Laggy display: things are not smooth to look at. YouTube videos jitter and tear. Windows don't disappear when minimizing or closing, they sort of 'wipe' down.
- Music software and other software are underperforming. Extremely slow loading times, laggy response and jittery graphics. In ableton there's a bar that moves along the screen to show you where you're at in a track, and this bar stutters along rather than just moving across smoothly. It's the opposite of smooth when I scroll up and down or zoom in and out. Similar things are true in other programs.
- Opening and closing windows and things just has a weak feel to it, as if my PC struggles just to open up 'Documents'.
- PC keeps freezing during startup. Often on the windows 7 logo.
- *new problem* I can't seem to run installation applications- I had uninstalled my antivirus software to see if that was the problem, I now can't reinstall it. The installation app won't run.
- Tried to record my gameplay in Rocket league (which runs okay actually, games seem to be fine) but as soon as I pressed record on fraps, the framerate dropped to like 12 fps.
This is driving me nuts and I spent a lot of money on this. I was using Windows 10 but had even more issues with that, so I downgraded to 7 pro. I just have NO idea what is wrong.
Thanks in advance for your help.
