    System wide lag with new hard drive


    Hey guys I've tried looking for some sort of solution elsewhere but to no avail. I'm using the windows 10 creators update and since changing out my HDD for a new one a month ago (and a new SSD to boot from) my computer lags constantly I can't do any two tasks at the same time. It's especially noticeable when streaming a video or downloading games from Steam, the sound lags so much videos or songs begin to sound like robots, even the mouse cursor lags around the screen and I can't do anything until the downloading is complete or the stream is paused. There's nothing wrong with my actual internet, like the title implies it's system wide lag within windows itself and I'm not sure what's causing it. Any ideas? *Think

  3. System wide lag whenever downloading, installing, or patching.

    So I've noticed since being forced to download Windows 10 that whenever I install a large program (either using a 3rd party program like Steam or the .exe directly, patch a game, or do any download from the web on either Firefox or IE that I experience massive
    amounts of lag in web browsing, video, audio, RAM, and mouse/keyboard input. I never had any of these issues with Windows 7 and it started immediately after installing Windows 10. It usually goes away after the process is done, but I sometimes have to restart
    to fix the audio lag. Is there anything settings wise that I can change in 10 that can alleviate this?
