some games freeze or lag
some games freeze or lag
When I play many games, the whole game often stutters and becomes really annoying. Usually, I can't continue playing and it gets frustrating. Do you know any solutions? My setup includes an i5 4670K at stock speed (3.40 GHz), an MSI Z87-G45 gaming motherboard, a GTX 760 graphics card (MSI), 6GB RAM at 1333MHz, a 1.5 TB Seagate SSD, and Windows 8.1 x64. I also notice the disk usage is near 100% in Task Manager. It might be because I haven’t reinstalled Windows 8 properly—just used the old hard drive and connected it to this system.
It seems like you've likely identified the root cause of your issue. Reinstalling Windows might be necessary, especially after upgrading hardware. You may face complications if you skip this step.
