Slow gaming PC and blue screen crashes
Hi, I built a new gaming rig recently and installed windows 10 on it but have been experiencing some problems. I'll put the specs at the end.
I've been having troubles from the get go with the speed of the PC. Everything seems to be working fine apart from that. When starting Windows 10 it's occasionally very slow and when getting to the desktop it takes a while for the startup programs and desktop shortcuts to load. I have been using ASUS RamCache to speed it up, without it's way too slow. Opening programs it can take up to 5 minutes for it to eventually open on some occasions. Also when playing games like League of Legends I get FPS drops so the screen freezes for a few seconds or on Overwatch player models are invisible including myself so I die to invisible enemies, it doesn't seem to be graphics card related. Could it be HDD related? Occasionally I will abruptly get the blue screen of death with the error message 'memory_management'. Could this be ASUS RamCache causing this problem or is it a problem with the RAM itself? Any help would be appreciated thanks.
