Hello Tom's community! I'm back again with the same issue. Every few months or so my computer will start to bog down and eventually lock up after it has been running for several hours. Usually around 8 or so. The fixes to this have always been restart or system refresh. A system restart fixes it for about 8 hours and a system refresh fixes it for about 2 months.
I run a ssd for my operating system, as well as an internal 1 tb hdd and a USB 1tb hdd.
My only known issues with the computer is a dead cmos battery as well as a possible faulty ram holster. Every so often my computer will stop booting until I swap my ram chips into the opposite ram chip's slot. I haven't figured out if it's the slot or a chip going.
The only sign I've had to give me any direction to solving this problem is massive spikes in my pagefile and swapfile that line up with the stuttering and lagging of my computer. Usually this will be the swapfile and pagefiles that are on my secondary hdds.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to a fix for this? I tried last year and didn't get any solutions.
