@olandersnake 26 күн бұрын
With that little of space left causes problems because Windows wants to have some space set aside as virtual RAM. This is more evident with the single stick of (I think) 8GB or 16GB. Which is honestly just not enough to play a lot of newer games. 32GB is always my recommended size.

@@Farhan-ec7dx Did you not put in 32GB? It's around $100 or less total for 32GB. $55-$115 for DDR4 and DDR5 Even if the game doesn't need all 32GB, if your ram usage is near 16GB or slightly over, when that's your total system ram, you'll get stuttering and computer will be less responsive
@olandersnake 25 күн бұрын
@Farhan-ec7dx it's not games that recommend it. It's the usage of having the games that use 8-10GB, and then Windows itself, your graphics card software, your peripherals controller software, motherboard software, steam/epic games/blizzard software, Discord, and quite a few of the competitive games have launcher software as well. So many gaming computers that I service will have 5-8GB used just turning them on and logging into Windows. Then you boot up a game, and POW you are using up your RAM. Then you get to enjoy random stuttering due to you C: being told to be used as virtual RAM, which even the fastest SSDs are not quick enough to be RAM. Might as well "download more ram." You can probably get by with 16GB, but to have some decent coverage, 32GB is the best option.

I whole heartedly agree with Greg, I've built every computer I've ever owned, and the single biggest "quality of life" upgrade was the SSD. Every time you install Windows, install programs/games, move large files, open programs/games, back-up files, etc.,etc. the speed boost not to mention the superior boot times, it's lovely and will absolutely make an old computer "feel" new better than any other upgrade. It pays for itself constantly!

My PC is probably 8 years old now, and last year I decided to make a few upgrades to extend it's life. The cooler was done out of necessity as the CPU was really maxing out temp wise when it was under heavy load. Once that was done I decided it was time to bite the bullet and replace my HDD. My MB does not have any M.2 slots so the only option is a 2.4" SSD. I bought a Crucial one as I have always had good experiences with their products (my PC ram is Crucial and my M.2 expansion in my PS5 is as well). It comes with software to clone my HDD onto the SSD (well it came with a link to download it). The process was incredibly easy with only one piece of software needing a licence update (Photoshop). The speed difference between my HDD and the SSD is crazy. The boot up process was getting longer and longer with the HDD. Even when you got into Windows, it still took forever before you can open things like internet browsers. Now everything is almost instantaneous. I kept the 1TB HDD in the system to keep all my music on it, and as I bought a 1TB SSD, everything else can be kept on that. I still have around 500gb free on both drives. I was an SSD sceptic, but no longer.

I can attest to how huge a difference moving from an HDD to an SSD can make. I have ad admittedly very old system (we're talking 2008 Dell hardware) that I was using as a domain controller (please don't hate on me). I only needed it for the DC role, so it didn't need to really do a lot. I didn't really care if it was dog slow, as my domain is only a few computers thick. The story is that old computer was running a moderately newer HDD. I purchased a brand-new custom-built server as a Hyper-V server and was doing to decommission that old relic I was using, but I decided, for grins and giggles, to put in an SSD to see what that would do. Darn it if that didn't put some zip into that old machine! I am running Windows Server 2022 on that thing, and it is cranking along like it's still in its prime. It's running as a backup DC and DNS server on my network. I'm probably going to fully decommission it soon, but I cannot tell you the remarkable difference moving from a platter-based hard drive to a solid-state drive made in that li'l machine's performance.

Yes i agree with Raymond....check pins and socket while the cooler was off. Another RAM stick then all is good in the world

The rig POSTed just fine before that hahah. So it wasn't really needed.

My brother was running his pc os through a hard drive and I can concur that after upgrading his storage to a m.2 from a hard disk drive his pc ran so much faster it was night and day difference.
@HouseboundPerspectives 24 күн бұрын
remember when i first went from a HDD to an SSD, MAJOR game changer. don't necessarily need a m.2 since you prob wont notice much of a difference between that and an SSD. so if ya wanna save TONS, just get a HUGE SSD instead of spending twice as much on a m.2

I could be wrong, but I don't think the RX 580 came with zero fan function. They should be on at idle speed and ramp up under use.
@GregSalazar 25 күн бұрын
This one definitely has its fans turn off at idle and ramp up under load. Confirmed visually while stress testing.

I shortly saw the HDD Hardrive and it look like it was a straight red line which means it needs to be clean and free space, this is why it was so long to load windows.

Not sure if anyone mentioned it here but MSI cards usually tend to run no fans while idle in Windows in silent mode. Had the same with a 2070 Msi Armor card!
@Dan-Simms 25 күн бұрын
All cards for probably over a decade now dont start running fans until the card hits something like 60c by default.

I think the main problem was the CPU cooler not being secured but the other was the amount of disk space left on the HDD. Only 34.8GB on a 1TB drive. I would bet if 100GB were deleted, it would boot significantly faster, although still slow. Even after Windows finally loads, it will make it run slower with that small a reserve space. If it were SATA or nvme, it might react even worse.

i seen that the old hard drive is almost full that could cause some slow down as well specially if it has not be defragged
@kens32052 26 күн бұрын
Being 90% full could be another reason why the mechanical drive was so slow.

HDDs are super slow to boot Windows regardless, but yes. Clutter doesn't help!

@@GregSalazar Yup. I always heard that a mechanical drive will start to slow down once it reaches half full.

@@GregSalazar I upgraded an 8th gen intel I7 from a mechanical to a M.2. The boot time went from 45 seconds to 10 seconds lol.

I used to have a rig just like this one in 2017, when the only way to get a GPU, because of the miners, was to buy a whole system. First thing I did was tear it apart and upgrade it.

The old HDD being so close to full could also cause issues galore.

My rig was already having a m.2 SSD on pci-e gen 3 but it was a 500Gb one already maxed out and the other storage that i was having was a 2Tb hdd that have some folder and game in it. I was having a storage issue on my ssd so i decided to upgrade and buy this time a 2Tb m.2 gen4, i flashed my 500Gb one on the new 2Tb one and i didn't format my 500Gb until my pc decided to boot on the correct drive so now i have plenty of storage left and an empty 500Gb m.2 for futur game

Can't say my pc is a CyberpowerPC anymore, all that's left of the prebuilt is fans, case, power supply and two drives. I've upgraded the Motherboard, CPU, RAM, and Video card, not to mention adding hard drives.
