It’s been 3 months since I have my new pc :
Intel Core i5-12400F 6 Cores, 2,5GHz
16GB of RAM
Geforce RTX 3060
The thing is, everything I do on my computer is so slow ! I freeze and crash everytime I switch between my different programs, everytime I try to launch a game, everytime I make something on my computer!
More than that, when I look at the task manager with steam, browser and discord open the cpu use doesn’t even reach 20%!
Everytime I launch a game that use a lot of ram and cpu I make sure to close my browser and every other useless programs but nothing helps!
Please tell me someone have a solution cause I feel like using a janky computer while it’s completely new.

What’s your RAM? Maybe it’s too much for your memory controller to handle.
I have x2 G.Skill Aegis 8 Go (1 x 8 Go) DDR4 3200 MHz CL16
Yeah general computing shouldn’t be an issue for you. Is this a fresh install of windows? That can do wonders for problems like this, if it hasn’t been done in a while. Otherwise, ssd issue perhaps, you can use crystaldiskinfo to check drive health. Or, a temperature problem somewhere, are you monitoring temperature? I use hwmonitor. There’s also hwinfo which is what most people would recommend.
I tried hwinfo and everyting was green. The thing is I’m on SSD.
I freshly installed windows and I’m considering re installing it…
Disk info? I hope you have windows installed on a SSD. IMO in this day and age, I do not see the reason to use HDDs in anything other then a NAS. Hell, I do not even use SATA SSDs in my builds any more.
NAS doesn’t even make sense, since you only get it if you have the money. And I bet that you can pay like 10% more for SSDs
Truthfully, I would like to convert my NAS to SSDs as well.
I’m on HDD but as rsta223 said SSD is so expensive
You need to get your main windows on a SSD. Even an ancient CPU like a 4790k will feel snappier with a SSD than a fast CPU without one.
Thanks for your concern about my issues I didn’t think I would have so much help !
I have to give more precise things about my computer since I saw how everybody talked about SSD :
I have HDD Seagate BarraCuda 4 To (ST4000DM004)
My pc got built by LDLC (french company) it’s well known and has always been really professionnal so I don’t think the issue would be the build process.
I make everything possible to have my computer maximized by not using anti virus or any program that may cause trouble.
The thing with my crashes is for example:
When I launch a stream on discord every tabs goes “not responding” and I have to wait several minutes to get it fixed
It happens as well when I launch a game or any programs.
Maybe I’m overreacting to these but I feel like it shouldn’t since this computer cost me 1000€ and it’s 3 months old
Sorry if I’m not responding to you quickly I’m in France and just woke up
even the best of the best sometimes leave the cpu cooler sticker on the cooler check that
Probably high temps
