    My computer is wayyyyy slower than it should be


    Hi, last summer I built a pretty good desktop, 16gb RAM, 4 core AMD, NVIDIA 1060, etc. But it just feels so slow, right now it is orders of magnitude slower than my other laptop, which isn't half as good (8 gb RAM, 4 core intel, internal GPU). On my desktop, programs take forever to start, chrome will absolutely lag to death sometimes, but it still performs where I would expect in benchmarks. I have done some wacky things with the registry, and I could definitely have a virus bc I've downloaded lots of sketchy things.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to check what's slowing it down/fix it?

    If not, I think I will just save everything and reload windows, but that's a pain in the ass and I would rather not.

    slow start up * 6 times slower

    Hi Ali,

    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    • are you getting any error messages when starting up your computer? If so, can you send us a screenshot? Make sure that you remove all personal information.

      • Click on the Start menu.
      • Type winver.
      • Press Enter.

    My computer is wayyyyy slower than it should be

    Does this computer build have compatibility problems? Opinions welcomed!

    Lets start with what you're going to use this computer for, not what you want to put in it.

    Rules/steps to building a computer (in chronological order):
    First rule: Determine what your needs are.
    Second rule: Define your budget.
    Third rule: Pick parts.
    Fourth rule: Review parts several times.
    Fifth rule: Buy said parts.
    Sixth rule: Build it.

    You are on rule/step 1. Go through the list until you're done.
