Hello there!
So my computer recently seems to have a slew of issues and I'm beginning to think it stems from a hardware issue. Apologies if this is in the wrong part of the forums.
My computer stopped detecting my microphone on my headset.(I have tried to fix this issue by uninstalling/reinstalling drivers)
My computer seems to have a considerable about of slowdown when retrieving files.
Issues/freezing when saving files in art programs. (Photoshop / Paint Tool Sai / Clip Studio)
I've gotten notices while checking to see if certain games I want to play are compatible with my setup and I've gotten warnings that my graphics card is 7 months overdue for an update but the last driver update available was 7 months ago.
My current specs are:
Windows 8.1 (64 bit)
Processor: Intel i7-4790 CPU @3.60GHz
RAM: 24 GB
AMD R9 200 series
2 TB Harddrive
I do play a lot of games and do artwork on an almost daily basis, so I'm thinking this may be a wear and tear issue, but if anyone has suggestions for me to try that would be great. There may very well be something else going on that I have overlooked.
My budget for updates is about $300 which isn't the best but it's what I have. I already have a 3TB hard drive available for upgrading but I'm wondering if I should get another just to run the system on.
Thank you for any assistance!
