  1. My PC suddenly became incredibly slow to the point it's barely useable


    Two days ago I started my computer. Didn't notice anything wrong until I booted up a game. For some reason when I played the game I had stupidly low FPS I usually get well over 200FPS on that game and everything I did had like a 2 second delay. I restarted my PC to try and fix the issue but nothing changed. This performance also applied to everything else, whether it is the highlight on apps when I hover over them with my mouse on the desktop Which again, doesn't occur when I actively move my cursor and only happens with a 2 second delay Which still needs me to hover the same app for over

    :)

    Incredibly slow PC

    A couple of weeks ago my PC wasnt able to start due to a problem during booting. I couldnt fix it so instead I decided to do a clean install of windows on my second SSD. I didnt really format that one I just installed windows onto it via stick and troubleshoot. I then formatted my first SSD that originally held my windows files and have been able to use my PC since then, however its slowed to a point where I can barely do anything with it. It used to be able to run most games in high definition and it now struggles with a YouTube video in full screen without lagging. I've attempted a clean install of windows on my original (formatted) SSD however I got an error that windows was not able to install on the selected drive. I've tried all the usual "why is my pc slow" tips but nothing has helped, there are no programs running in the background and when I monitor performance in the task manager everything looks fine, it just feels like something is holding the PC back.

    Does anyone have any idea what that is or experience how to fix it? I'm at a loss and I wanted to try asking before paying an IT guy.
