System performance drops on a standard desktop setup.
System performance drops on a standard desktop setup.
I've observed my computer slowing down during certain desktop activities. This impacts mouse control and video playback, while audio remains unaffected. Your system details are: Fresh Windows 11 Pro 64-bit install (23H2, OS Build 22631.4249), MSI B550 PRO-VDH WIFI, Ryzen 5 3600X with stock speeds, 2x16GB G.SKILL Ripjaws V 32GB DDR4 3200GHz, GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GAMING OC 8GB, Samsung SSD 970 EVO 1TB, Corsair RM 650x 650W. The BIOS is set to version 2.M1 (9/3/2024). I've included a video showing the lag. This issue also occurs when opening Display Settings for the first time, though recording with OBS didn't trigger it. Odd... 2024-10-03 12-40-00.mp4
Fix issues by checking spare components or using a colleague's computer for testing. Begin with the RAM, swapping parts between your machine and theirs. Be cautious with AMD CPUs paired with certain RAM configurations—they may not perform well. Have you refreshed the BIOS? Turned off XMP settings?
You're experiencing BSODs that are hard to consistently reproduce. The Memtest86 results on Test 6 suggest hardware issues, but conflicting reports make it tricky. Review the attached DMP file and photo for clues. Consider checking CPU health, testing with MOBO, and inspecting RAM. Next steps could include deeper diagnostics or consulting community forums for more targeted advice.
A memory mistake can definitely cause delays when that specific stick is used. Verify your RAM modules are correctly placed. Then try again. For best results, test each stick on a different machine. If everything checks out, the problem might lie with the CPU's memory controller.
