Thanks, I'll keep that in mind if something goes wrong

I can't fully remember, but it's certainly possible that it was plugged in during the installation. I made sure to get the latest drivers from the TP-Link website, however it does only say supports...

It's much more stable; I've restarted it a couple of times, one short beep like normal and no more lag!

I want to thank axe0 for guiding me through all the troubleshooting and trying to help me...

Thanks for the advice. I cleaned out the CPU heatsink and reapplied the thermal paste; temperatures while idle are around 25-30 degrees rather than high 80s. So far no lag while using the PC, it...

Problem is I don't have any compressed air, but I can use a vacuum for the detached heatsink.

It just shut down during the first 5 minutes of memtest. I don't know what to do...

EDIT: After running memtest again, I noticed the CPU temp was at 100 degrees. I checked on Speedfan and it is...

It seems very intermittent whether it wants to start up or not. Now there is just one long beep and then it sometimes shuts down or sometimes even the BIOS and initialisation screens are...

Now it's booting fine, one beep like normal. I'll run the test just to be sure.

I installed Razer Synapse for the mouse and Microsoft Keyboard Centre for the keyboard. I then restarted the computer and it shut down. Upon starting it up again, it did one long beep and one short...

I have attached the required data. Just wondering if it matters but CrystalDiskInfo is showing the reallocated sector count has risen to 68.



The hard drive is pretty quiet, nothing matching...

The lag is still prevalent, which suggests there may be damage to other components?

Here is the chkdsk report:


Checking file system on C:
The type of the file system is NTFS.


A disk check has been scheduled.
Windows will now check the disk.

Chkdsk ran successfully but the bad sector is still there, so is the lag. Also when the PC restarted after chkdsk it made one long beep instead of the normal quick beep.

Still at 10% after 3 hours, is that normal?

No, that's the problem. I need another drive to test.

It has only shut down once, seems stable now. However, the lag continues and it becomes unusable after opening a couple of applications it seems. The mouse lags and applications take ages, freezing...

I have updated my specs

I can't hear any abnormal sounds, however after using it for about 15 minutes, windows froze for ~3 seconds and then the PC immediately shut down. This sounds like some kind of hardware issue.

This PC has been working for about 3 years or so and suddenly today it started lagging really badly. I have done a fresh install of Windows 10 (wiping the previous partitions) and it's lagging even...

The bcmwl63a.sys file is there and driver verifier is not running.

For some reason it didn't bluescreen this time and I managed to get the logs.

Weirdly I have been using Windows for about 10 minutes now and it hasn't bluescreened yet. I don't know if it's a...

The problem is that I can't run the program as it bluescreens as soon as I do anything; I tried to connect to WiFi but as soon as I clicked the icon it bluescreened.

I have a mid 2012 mac and I have had Windows 7 bootcamped on it for ages, working perfectly. I decided to make a change to Windows 10; I formatted the Windows 7 partition and clean installed Windows...
