The computer experienced a slowdown during the night.
Hello, I recently assembled a new PC that has been functioning well for some time. However, when I powered it on one morning, everything felt sluggish. Programs took longer to launch, the screen would buffer videos, and my mouse movement seemed delayed. Even though I hadn’t made any changes overnight, these issues persisted. I ran various diagnostics—SFC scan, memory check, virus scan, hard drive inspection—but found nothing. Resetting Windows caused it to freeze and display a blue screen with error codes related to IOMAP64.SYS and an inability to read quickly. I’m aware MAP64 is for ASUS, but I don’t have any ASUS software installed on my system, and the blue screens have stopped completely. If anyone has advice or can help, I’d really appreciate it. Feel free to ask for more details if needed.
It's tough to pinpoint the exact event, but it might have been an automatic update that damaged your Windows integrity. Start by saving any crucial data—back it up to your HDD while keeping it disconnected if you don’t have enough external storage. Given how messed up your system looks, consider wiping the boot drive and installing a new Windows version. This should help verify that the problem was software-related and let you confirm everything is working properly. Good luck!
