New build is slow....

[tyler.stephens]

hey so two days ago i got a ton of stuff in from new egg put it together and im having some issues .

-movies will lag out
-whole screen will freeze(mouse +keyboard too) for 10-15 seconds randomly
-if i leave it on for a few hours without use it freezes up completely (if on screen saver it freezes mid "wobble"
-just in general its pretty slow

what have i missed/what can i check? i think ive downloaded all the drivers .

try running Memtest.

i was finding my PC was sluggish and crashy, shortly after it started bluescreening and then just halting at POST. Turns out one of my memory modules was going bad.

i guess $hit happens.

 

[tyler.stephens]

tried that and nothing.=[ my cpu isnt even hitting 3% use,and the ram is very low use too. would my hard drives create an issue like this?

i think its unlikely to be your hard-drive

is your CPU overheating?? Install a CPU monitor tool and monitor the tempreature, that could explain the freezes

 

[tyler.stephens]

could you link a tool that i should use?

 

[~Darkseeker~]

you could try this

it's a little on the glitchy side sometimes, but it does the job.

 

[tyler.stephens]

the cpu is at 35 C

oh hey my life just got that much better =] bsod
i just love my freakin life. anyone know what it means?

Try checking your video card temps, and try changing your drivers (up/downgrading).

this sounds alot like the problems i was having:

slowness, followed by BSOD, followed by sticking at POST. Like i said it was a bad memory module.

Try doing some hardware troubleshooting. Firstly, try booting into safe mode; if no problems happen, it is a non-critical driver that is causing your BSOD.

Take out one memory module, and if the problem persists, put it back and take out a different module. Continue this until you run out of sticks to test, or solve the problem.

Remove the GPU and run onboard graphics for a bit: see if the problem persists or not.

If you problem persists beyond the GPU, you only have the CPU, HDD, PSU and possibly motherboard left as culprits.

all right thank you very much i will do that
strangely enough i went to a lan party at my friends place last night and didn't have a single problem... so i dono what changed but everything seems to be all right for now?
