Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums but I have been reading a lot here these days so I thought I will give it a try
I’m Sorry if this is not the right section of the forums, but it’s kind of a general problem
Full System Specs at the bottom:
I just upgraded my computer putting an eight core AMD FX-8350 into a new motherboard (RAM, SATA HD and Graphic Card are the same old ones) and I’m experiencing serious lag whenever I’m copying files from external HD to local HD or even from one drive partition to another. I started noticing it when taking back some GBs of music and files from the previous computer: the mouse lags heavily every now and then and programs become laggy and unresponsive. Knowing that this might be completely different issue, exactly the same happens when downloading a game from Steam. My connection is really bad (600kbs at its best) but I have to clarify that I had NEVER experienced this kind of system slowdown in my i3 / win7 previous to the upgrade, and I did really heavy file copying and downloading…
During this lags and slowdowns when copying files, CPU activity stays low, but Disk activity is 100% through all the process
I have been trying several options that I found around the web but the problem persists. I’m starting to think something is wrong with my Hard Drive or RAM. Thanks in advance for any ideas that might help, here are some notes in case you feel like looking into it:
- I have already cleaned registry and defragmented the Hard drive
- I have 2 partitions of a singular 1TB hard drive. I experience lag when copying from/to both of them
- I haven’t discarded that the lag when downloading is due to the “Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2200” system included on the motherboard (it’s supposed to prioritize incoming traffic for games and such)
- I have read and tryed many of the things mentioned in this post without any result: https://www.techspot.com/community/...-disk-usage-performance-lag-windows-8.190289/
Sorry for the long post and sorry if im not being precise enough...I've tryed many things these days so I cannot recall them all. Ask for any details you need and thanks in advance for the help guys.
