Performance problem needs troubleshooting

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   Hi All,

I have a problem with my computer.  At random times it seems to lag.  I would blame the internet except its not just pages is everything.  The symptom is a glitchyness in my mmo game and freezing where 20 seconds later the battle is over but it looks to me like it has not even began.  I have noticed the water cooling system make a sloshing sound a second before the glitching starts.  The glitching happens at least once a day, anytime into my computer use (from 5 min on generally) and sometimes goes away on its own or a reset will solve it.  This has been going on for a few days.  What do you think?  Specs below and thanks for helping.

	I'm not an expert, nor even half as knowledgeable as most of the people you'll encounter here, but I have to ask something. Have you checked your temps/voltages? Download HWMonitor and see if anything spikes. I'm sure the smarter people will be here shortly to help, too.

	Hi Slappyn... I would get some canned air and blow out the case of any dust buildup if you haven't already. Blow through the fan on your 780 and out the back with power off. Blow out the Asetek coolers fins behind the fan. They can plug with dust. Download and run the free HWMonitor and check your cpu core and 780 gpu core temps while stressing the rig. Temps should be mid 80C or less. Good luck. Snaike beat me to it. Edited by bprat22 - 20 Jun 2014 at 3:28am

	Maybe its not a gushing sound from the radiator but it kinda sounds like one.

	If you have noise coming from the rad or the pump unit mounted to the cpu, then it's a good chance the unit is failing. Try blowing out the rad and checking temps. Temps will tell you if that's it or a problem elsewhere. If the temps are good then you could have a bad ram stick, a drive starting to fail, etc.

	I too tend to avoid BIOS updates unless the update fixes a specific problem that I am experiencing and it is that last thing I can do before replacing the motherboard.
