The PC becomes unresponsive completely, or specific applications may fail to function properly.
The PC becomes unresponsive completely, or specific applications may fail to function properly.
Decided to assemble a custom build for the first time. Previous prebuilt units often slowed down, but now with improved specs, discord occasionally freezes. Win 11 loads certain components slowly. Helldivers 2 sometimes freezes briefly. CPU is AMD Ryzen 9 7900, GPU Nvidia GeForce 4060, RAM DDR5 32GB, storage includes a 2TB HDD and a 1TB SSD, PSU Corsair RM750x Shift series, motherboard Gigabyte Gaming B850 Wifi 6E, running on Win 11. I already have a CPU cooler tower and three fans installed. Power draw isn’t excessive enough to cause brownout. The main concern is high disk usage during file transfers. Where should I begin searching for a fix?
Motherboard - Gigabyte Gaming B850 Wifi 6E
BIOS version for your motherboard?
RAM - DDR5 32GB
Please share a link to your RAM kit.
I also have a CPU cooler tower and three fans installed. However, I’m not sure it provides enough power to justify the system experiencing brownouts.
Could you tell me the make and model of your CPU cooler? And the make and model of your case?
The only observation is that the disk usage reaches 90% or more during operation, which is mainly for file transfers or similar tasks.

System - Windows 11
Have you installed the OS in offline mode? Did you install all relevant drivers manually with the latest versions during an elevated event?
Storage - HDD, one 2TB drive and another 1TB
Do you not have an SSD in your new build?

Acquire the parts from the tech shop; they handle such tasks. Likely it was done without internet access.
No SSD included. I assumed a Western Digital Gold Enterprise HDD would suffice.
I realize now that using an SSD for Windows might have been better instead of an HDD. Also, I changed my motherboard drivers and discovered that the latest Nvidia driver is causing some problems with rendering for Helldivers. According to a friend.
I have an idea for you, you probably realized by now you made an error with the hdd. Get a portable ssd, I have a 2tb Sandisk and my other two SSDs are full. Put your game clients like Steam or Epic onto it and go into client settings, choose add drive. When you next download a game it will ask which drive you want to use. The USB cable isn’t very long—it’s just enough to place the drive on top of the tower.
Some people say not to put games on an external SSD but I haven’t had any issues.
It doesn't need to be the primary drive, since it isn't the system drive. But doing a new Windows installation or cloning on an SSD would significantly improve the user's system speed.
