Computer running REALLY slow

[fathom cosmos]

It takes like 10 seconds to open up youtube web.

[haughty cliff]

do you got good wifi ?

[open field]

Provide the full specifications list of your system, namely, your CPU, RAM, and primary storage drive

among others

[fathom cosmos]

Ok since its coming back

I have a 14400f with a 4060

16 gb of ddr5 4800 mhz

and 512 gb of ssd

[open field]

For this part, elaborate.

• the computer is slow when you double-click or click the icon for your Web browser before the window opens
• the computer is slow to load YouTube after you open the browser

[fathom cosmos]

Sometimes both

my computer was really slow typing this message

Rn i just opened youtube and its rlly slow

Also when i alt tab

[open field]

Hmm...

Show the contents of Task Manager > Performance > CPU and Memory

[fathom cosmos]

Also its really slow in startup

@open field

[open field]

Is this with nothing open?

Your CPU and RAM usage are unusually high for a newly started system

[fathom cosmos]

I just opened valorant

thats why u can see the spike

[fathom cosmos]

Also @open field the stuttering as i said before came after patch 8,11

in val

[fathom cosmos]

So this is it

Idk if the slot 2 is supposed to be empty

Bc I bought a prebuilt so idk

Wait is my mobo supposed to be green
Cuz thats all i can see

[fathom cosmos]

@open field

[open field]

Retake these screenshots with NO GAMES

[open field]

Normal for prebuilds and very cheap boards focused on non-home use

[open field]

Yes, and this affects performance as you're basically missing half the RAM speed due to single channel

You can rectify a lot of low FPS issues in newer or CPU-limited games by immediately adding a second stick of same capacity and same or higher speed

Probably will make things generally snappier too

While we are at it

https://benchmarks.ul.com/3dmark#windows

Please run this. The demo is enough. Run the suggested benchmark. Post the results here

[fathom cosmos]

@open field

[fathom cosmos]

Ill run that when im available rn im not

[fathom cosmos]

So I cant fullty utilize my 1 ram stick?

[open field]

more like, can't fully utilize your CPU. The RAM stick is being fully utilized, but the memory controller inside your CPU could handle one more that would have doubled the bandwidth

[fathom cosmos]

Oh ok

So once I run 3dmark could u find the issue?

[open field]

It can determine if your entire PC is working correctly or not

[fathom cosmos]

Ok, once Ill run it ill @ u with the results thx

[fathom cosmos]

@open field

@open field

[fathom cosmos]

Also the stuters happen in valorant and fortnite

the only games I play

[open field]

OK. So looks like hardware wise there isn't anything wrong but you can benefit from a second stick of 16GB

Since right now you're on single channel mode

However, even then, without adding the RAM, normal desktop tasks shouldn't be that slow

[open field]

Do you know the model?

[fathom cosmos]

No

[fathom cosmos]

Do u know what it could be

Cause rn I dont rlly wanna get a second stick of ram since idk if it tampers with the warranty

[open field]

Still observing slowness?

[fathom cosmos]

Stuttering yes, but not in valorant anymore

Just in fort

[open field]

Make suree to install extra assets to prevent extra on-demand loads

A lot of stuttering in Fortnite isn't hardware related, but rather it trying to load things

[fathom cosmos]

Liek what

[open field]

When installing Fortnite you may have been asked if you want to install some extra components. Check if you may need to install them again.

[fathom cosmos]

Like dx12?

High quality shaders?

[open field]

If you have the storage to spare, I'd probably install everything, dropping nothing, onto an SSD. Then, load up the game in DX11 or DX12 (turn off raytracing if latter), set DLSS to Quality, and see what happens. Remember: some traversal stutter is inevitable

What we're trying to look for is if it lag spikes or stalls on everything, or just when moving large distances

[fathom cosmos]

Ok got it, Ill get back to u soon. Im busy today so Ill do it tmrw

[fathom cosmos]

@open field

Also sometiems my computer freezes

but my mouse st ill moves

[fathom cosmos]

@open field

Do u know how to fix computer reezing
