Sudden decline in performance?
Sudden decline in performance?
Hello. I have a concern regarding my computer's sudden drop in performance. About two hours ago, games like CSGO were running smoothly (250-350FPS). However, after closing the game for about ten minutes to do something else, my PC became much slower. In CS:GO, I usually see 90-120 FPS on medium settings, but now it's only 20-30 FPS. I observed that my RAM was at 41% during idle, yet I couldn't identify what caused the high usage. No processes were running at such high levels, everything seemed normal. After restarting, the issue persisted; I tried reseating the RAM, but nothing helped. My CPU idle percentage remains between 1-3%, and my GPU is also at 1%. Neither the CPU nor GPU is throttling. This happened abruptly, and I don't see any clear reason behind it. Anyone have suggestions or solutions?
The information provided does not reference your hard disk or SSD. Please specify the storage devices you are using, including their sizes and model numbers, as well as the version of Windows you are operating on. If you are using Windows 10 or 11, 41% RAM usage in an 8GB system is typical.
Disks can deteriorate over time, potentially leading to failure or requiring a fresh Windows installation. They don’t last indefinitely.
Long-term use may damage the Windows Registry and operating system files. You can try using SFC and DISM for repairs.
Open a Command Prompt with administrator rights and execute SFC /SCANNOW from the link provided. Alternatively, run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth via the link in the article.
Consider whether you are using two 4GB DIMMs or one 8GB DIMM. In either scenario, it might be beneficial to download MemTest86+ and create a bootable USB drive to test your RAM.
Is Tiny 11 able to receive regular Windows updates every second Tuesday? Occasionally, an update might cause issues.
Don't assume others will understand how to assist you when operating an OS that barely reaches 0.1% of the global population. Even if we wished to aid you, we cannot definitively determine whether the issue lies with Tiny11 or elsewhere. However, it seems likely the problem is connected to Tiny11.
