Why is my PC getting unresponsive & slow it was never like this before
It hasalso been stalling a lot while I use the internet (it never used todo these things I'm a retro gamer the most I put my rig through ishaving a bunch of tabs open and 2 active tabs open one usually aYouTube video and the other something I'm reading or whatever, butthe most state of the art game I play is probably 'Total War RomeRemastered' some are from the 90s lol. Sometimes it freezes for 7-20seconds sometimes the mouse moves so slow I have to wait for thenonsense to stop before I can actually use it same with thekeyboard.) And while I don't have the fastest internet connection itis almost (or was almost) always fine for me my download speed was19-30 Mbps my upload speed never got above 10 Mbps but that is notrelevant to my use really.
My COMPUTER'S SPECIFICATIONS:
Operating System: Windows 10 64x Home
Build: 19041vb_release.191206-1406
I have a Motherboard
Manufacturer Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd.
Model B85M-HD3
with an Intel Core i5 4440 CPU @ 3.10GHz
Cores 4
Threads 4
it has 16GB of DDR3 Dual Channel RAM,
it's GPU is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780,
Its Solid State Drive is a: SanDisk SSD PLUS 240 GB (SSD) (whichwas replaced because it broke a week before its 5-year warranty wasup :) that was a few years ago. The backup drive (standard hhd brokeafter the warranty was up but I couldn't care less never used it).
I also have an ethernet connection connected from my router to myRealtek PCIe Gbe Family Controller (Not sure what router I useoff-hand but Spectrum is my ISP).
I would be very appreciative if anyone had any advice as to whatthe hardware/software problem is although the PC was custom made onDecember 2014 (not the SSD that was replaced under warranty or theMotherboard that also was replaced under warranty but it could veryeasily be those that are the culprit anyway.
Thank you for taking the time to read about my problem, if youneed any more information please just ask.
