Hey guys. Ive had my PC build for over 3 years. My puppy pushed it today and suddenly it slowed down a lot. When i turned it on it started beeping so i removed the ram (2x8gb) and reinserted it. The liquid cooling also made some noises but thats fine now when i took it out and reattached it. The thing is that it loads really slow and most of my games play at 30fps max. The gpu is not a peoblem not even loaded on over 5%, but the ram is always 7-8/16gb even if i have nothing opened. Should i change my ram then?

You mentioned your PC beeping, could you be a little more specific and tell us what the beeps were? Like how many times and if they were long or short beeps?
wind coral
@lime thicket thanks for replying. There were 3-4 short beeps
After that the control panel processes showed only 8gb of ram. When i took out and reattached it it went back to 16 and there werent any beepings. But the PC is super slow loading thinfs

Ok, and is it anything specific or just everything in general
lime thicket
Absolutely everything. Even discord takes ages to load
Okay, and you said your puppy knocked it? How badly? like a small knock or fully knocked over?
wind coral

I reattsched the gpu and ram, but i think it might actually be the ssd? Even games loading screens load so slow
Is there any way for me to check if its the GPU?

Do you know if you have an SSD or a mechanical HDD?
wind coral
Ssd
lime thicket
Ok, you could start by testing your drives with HDTune
wind coral
Its really weird. I play wow and i usually have no issues, but the loading screen of the game takes ages. The whole battlenet app also takes ages to load. When i monitor the performance on the task manager the gpu stays at 10-12% and the ram is 5-6-7/16

So its not like the gpu is struggling but i am getting low fps from loading stuff
lime thicket
If things are loading slowly, whilst it's not impossible, it's unlikely it's the GPU
wind coral
What should i be looking at?
lime thicket
What should i be looking at?
head over to error scan, and scan each of your drives
You can open multiple instances and scan multiple drives at once so you don't have to do 1 at a time
Don't do quick scan, and then post the screenshots in here, if anything goes red, you can stop the scan and just post it

the ssd looks fine the hdd is not ready yet
so i take it its not the discs... weird
its funny i just tried a FurMark stress test for my gpuand i get a constant 80-90 fps

Furmark isn't a stress test, it's a stability test
wind coral
yeah but still it seems to be working fine
then i clicked ctrl alt and del and the fps dropped to 40

You're getting your PC to do more things, so things are being spread across multiple tasks, it could still be drives or even ram, but wait for your other drives to finish, then let me know and I can give you the link for a test for your Ram
wind coral
yeah i have only 2
1 ssd and 1 hdd
the hdd is 1/3 finished
my windows is on the ssd tho so
lime thicket
No worries, lets wait for that first, then I'll link the next test
Windows being on the SSD won't matter, if you HDD is the problem, then it will cause a problem with anything that's on it

lime thicket
No worries, just let me know when it's done
wind coral
Could it be windows as well? I havent reinstalled it since i got my pc like almost 4 years ago

It could be, seems a little coincidental if it is, but if nothing comes up from these tests, then it's worth a shot

Download this and run the Ram test
Ram test only, and make sure your PC is not doing anything in the background

That won't be causing your PC to be slow, unless your CPU is over heating
wind coral
its weird how i was getting 80-90 fps on furmark and then only 20 ingame
idk what the fk happened 😄

lime thicket

would this slow the whole PC?
lime thicket
If it's over heating, then yes, CPU is one of the most important parts
lime thicket
Yeah, definitely a problem then, contact tech on monday, or send them an email now and they will respond on monday as soon as they can
