Hello guys!
I really hope someone can help me out.
Here's what happened:
I was playing GTA V, and suddenly I get thrown out to the desktop where it says "PC is running low on memory. Close some programs to release memory". It asked me if I wanted to automatically close GTA, cause that was what used the most memory. I said "no" and wanted to close some programs myself, to free memory space.
When I attempted to tab out and close some programs, my entire PC stopped responding basically. Windows itself didn't respond (couldn't press the windows icon in the button left) and my programs ran painfully slow.
I decided to shut down my PC and go to bed. Now fast forward to today, I come home, turn on my PC, and the first thing I notice is that it's taking forever to even start the PC. It took about 5 mins just to log in, which normally takes 30 seconds max.
When I finally got to the desktop, nothing was working. It turns out that it was loading the startup programs. So I gave it a bit of time to do so. After 20 minutes, it still had not loaded all the startup programs it would normally do in 1-2 minutes.
All of my programs are still painfully slow. It takes 3-5 minutes to open a program, and once you get in every action takes 30 seconds.
Example: google chrome took about 5 minutes to open, and just loading a web page takes about a minute, where it normally would take less than 5 secs. I can confirm it is not a problem with my connection, as its working fine on my mobile phone and other PC's in my house.
Everything worked fine until I received the "Running low on memory" error, that's why I suspect that is what caused it.
My PC is only about 1 year old, and it has a lot of really new parts, brand new 2TB SSD, and GPU.
It is also weird to me that I ran out of memory since I have 16GB 2400mhz memory.
If anyone can help me that would be greatly appreciated. I can't really seem to identify the problem myself, other than that error message I got.
TL;DR: My PC got the "low on memory" error, and since then it has been slow as hell and barely working.
