    What should I upgrade?


    Computer type:

    OS:
    Microsoft Windows 10
    CPU:
    Intel Core i5-4690 3.50Ghz
    Motherboard:
    ASRock Z97 Extreme3
    Memory:
    8 GB
    Graphics Card(s):

    Browser:
    Google Chrome

    Windows Defender

    The overall performance of my computer is going down, I can't have too many things open or it will start to lag. Also, while playing Minecraft I will get a ton of lag spikes. I was wondering if I should buy more ram. I have had this computer for 5 years and I wouldn't be surprised if I needed to buy more. Either that or maybe it has something to do with my power supply because it is a CX500M and I recently found out that this model isn't the best for gaming. This is my task manager when I am currently using Minecraft..

  3. Video card or RAM need upgrading?

    Memtest: no errors after 10 hrs.
    I'm going to perform the Primetest, later on. Get back to you on that.
    I'm going to take it step by step, guys. I need to find the problem with this current computer. I might have to upgrade some components, so that it is still runnable. As for the new one, yes....i will build on it later. I need to find something decent 'gaming experience', all suggestions appreciated. THanks.

  4. What should I upgrade?

    No more touchpad for my laptop since upgrading to Windows 10

    Hi Derek,

    I would suggest the following steps :

    • Press Windows + X
    • Click on Device Manager
    • Right click on TouchPad drivers in the list.
    • Choose Upgrade Drivers
    • Reboot computer

    Check if this helped to fix the issue.
