Your PC has been acting up a lot lately, and it seems like everything is struggling. The GPU and RAM are both maxing out, which makes things even harder to manage. I’m not sure what steps to take for system checks or fixing any Windows problems.

Seems you've already checked the basics. Could you share the complete details you're looking for?

Don't know the details of your device, so it's hard to assist right now. Sharing full specs would help us better support you.

Disk space is fully utilized as well. How would you request detailed specifications? Edited April 2, 2022 by Yssoloman

Space on your drive is fully used? Your power supply and motherboard should display their brand and type, though checking the case can be more challenging. Did the computer come with a receipt or detailed specs when it was purchased?

It seems to be an HP Pavilion equipped with an NVIDIA GTX1650 graphics card, 8 GB of RAM, and you upgraded it to 16 GB.

This means a proprietary motherboard with a sealed enclosure. There are numerous problems with prebuilt versions of this style. The main concerns include inadequate cooling—cases offer minimal airflow and low-grade CPU coolers—and often limited customization options, such as only providing a single high-speed 8GB memory stick paired with a Ryzen processor. Adding another 8GB stick might resolve memory bottlenecks, but it could also introduce compatibility issues if the RAM isn't the right type. Slower data transfer speeds, stability problems, diminished performance, and other related issues are common. If your hard drive is nearly full, it can lead to noticeable lag or stuttering. Given the pavilion design and likely insufficient cooling, overheating becomes a risk, potentially triggering thermal throttling that reduces performance. Another aspect to consider is the graphical settings you choose; your GPU should handle at least 90% of usage during games, aiming for smooth performance. If your CPU is consuming more power than the GPU, that might not always be ideal.
