Thanks for watching! I've added a bunch of super useful links in the description to get your computer running like new again. Let me know if you have any questions :)
I have ryzen 3600x, gtx 1060 and 16gb corsair vengeance ram All my games used to run at 70-80 fps Now the same games works at 35fps. I followed your instructions in the video But nothing happened You got any solutions? I think it's power supply
Yo , consider throwing a low pass filter on all your audio and bring it down as far as possible before it starts audibly effecting your voice or other main audio. It should cut most of that noise floor/slight hissing in the background
Almost a year later and this drastically helped my computer. I know some of them were obvious fixes but other than that they gave me reminders of shit I forgot.
Another good cleaning utility with plenty of tools... Cleanup, uninstallers, software updater is Glarysoft Utilities. Been using it for years, along with CCleaner, but I use it primarily now since CCleaner was hacked a while back.
this video was extremely useful and it was made into several different parts and had timestamps so i knew where to watch and what i didnt need. thanks a lot
With your last point in the description about order to upgrade hardware basically correct but with a caveat, that being know your workflow requirements. If your workload is GPU intensive then upgrading memory or CPU might not achieve very much. For the not too techy inclined this might not be particularly easy to do but a little research is worth the effort when spending hundreds of dollars. With regards to ram you can leave a lot of performance on the table if the memory clock speeds are not set properly. DDR4 runs at either 2133mHz or 2400mHz out of the box but many sticks of ram are designed to run at higher speeds. You can use task manager on the performance tab it will show you what speed the ram is running at and compare this with the label on the ram itself. If they match then great if not you will need to dig into the Bios to set this at the proper rate. If you are uncomfortable doing this ask a friend and watch over their shoulder as it is quite easy but it looks very complicated.
@@kylesinko Thank you, the biggest issue for most non techy but need to use tech people is finding relevant information for them as most media, RU-vid included has a tendency to focus either on gaming or be very deep dive in nature. The two channels I look for good solid information backed up with performance metrics and cost consideration analysis are Gamers Nexus (the host is nick-named Tech Jesus for a reason) and Hardware Unboxed. Whilst both do use games for benchmarking amongst other metrics they are excellent sources of solid basic information. I am sure there are many others too but those are the ones I go to first.
Could also be a hardware problem. Many are not aware that a bad MB to LCD Ribbon connector on a laptop can cause the processor to run at very slow speeds. For example instead of the 3.5ghz it should run at 1ghz plus show a heavy load when using a simple application.
responding to 17:30 Actually, that is not necessarily true. This is because Windows Defender Anti-Virus, (Windows Security) will look for and find viruses if your computer has been fully updated, and the applications have been updated. Some of the patches that Microsoft pushes are updates to Windows Defender so that it can look for evidence of viruses etc.
That's true, I've found that anti-virus software can find threats that Windows Security does not. However, I'm actually only running Windows Security now as most anti-virus software can take too many resources from your computer and actually slow it down. I generally only install it when I think I may have a threat and then uninstall it after scanning/removing threats.
Saw all the good comments about this video and thought Id give it a try. The only problem is that my laptop taking like 5 minutes to load on everything. 😩I hope this works
i cleaned my pc power supply a few days ago because i cleaned my front fans a few months ago so i didnt think i would need to do that so after cleaning it my games ran fine with no crashes for a day then next day crashed everytime i ran bannerlord for 5 mins so then i just cleaned my front fans i was able to play it but the pc is kinda loud still ive had this pc for almost 2 years now i wonder if i have to change my thermal paste now if thats my issue but as of right now i dont have any thermal paste
built a beastly $3,500 PC 2 weeks ago. This thing seems to run games great, but at the same time, runs a little hot and it runs very slow with basic computing tasks like internet browsing and RU-vid watching. It's completely up to date with security and updates, expo is turned on, and new drivers have also been installed. Am I missing something here? Something in the settings of BIOS? Something obvious? I'm honestly a little lost here and I don't want to jump straight to a fresh windows install. The Specs for this thing are: CPU: AMD 7900x GPU: 4080 RAM: G.Skill 64 GB DDR5-6000 PSU: Corsair 1000x 80+ Gold SSD: Corsair MP600 Pro XT OS: Windows 10 64 Home FANS: 10 Lian Li 120mm Uni Sl MOTHERBOARD: Asus B650E-E
Discounting hardware faults, my guess would be a corrupt windows install. I hope you've been able to figure it out since my late reply? Let us know Cheers
@Kyle Sinko I did end up doing a fresh windows install which helped a little, but it's still running slow with internet browsing and RU-vid videos just won't play. Games run 100% fine so honestly I'm confused. And I'm hard-lined to my router and have 1gps speed so I know that's not the issue.
@@the_i.t_guy1134 Games usually run off your GPU and things like browing, watching videos etc tends to use your CPU. Sounds like it could be an issue with that
I must be terrible with computers. I thought I followed this, and after a restart it’s saying Microsoft edge is a shortcut. Had to download again and lost all my passwords and usernames for everything. This is what I’ve been trying to avoid for a year of using this slow computer.
its crazy because i use my laptop for computer science purposes only and stoped using the laptop for 3 weeks because i had my desktop, and now im back in the semester and for whatever reason, my laptop became sooooooooo slow, it freezes at time and im unable to share my zoom like i use to before
Learned some good stuff but I think more than anything this video just motivated me to get up off my ass and actually clean out my computer. Liked and subscribed just for that lol
i have a lenovo laptop and it mostly works ok, but it sometimes has these weird spikes where its just realy slow and i have to wait like 5 hours for it to work normal again.
Could be at a time where automatic updates run. Usually this is Windows updates or another program updating itself. I had this issue on my laptop where Creative Cloud would update automatically when using the laptop and use all the laptop's resources.
DO NOT! and i repeat DO NOT defrag an SSD drive, it will just wear it down faster, doesn't improve performance and makes zero sense doing. ONLY de frag a harddrive, never a solid state drive.,
Im having serious trouble after an update made my hard drive fail/crash to the point nothing could repair it and it stopped turning on... Took it to a shop for the first time ever, they reset it and I spent a day setting everything up for performance.. But EVERYTHING is soooo slow..and freezes a lot...nothing has fixed anything. PLEASE HELP!
All I can really do is say to go through the 10 steps in this video. If it's still not working as it should, viruses can follow after resetting a computer, depending on the reset done and type of virus. I would make sure they did a factory reset (wiped everything) just to rule out the chance of it being a virus.
Have you followed the other steps in the video? It might be something simple like manually updating the drivers or upgrading some of your hardware. Cheers
my computers so slow i cant even watch this video on it bro its so annoying i cant play any games now but it used to be so fast also is having one disk drive ok or could that be the problem
I have instaled the program QuickCpu than I messtup some settings aand my pc crash but after I turn on my pc it runs very slow like for example google opening so slow I was triing to reset the settings on the QuickCpu but there was not any option for that
Awesome videos tutorials. Thanks! Question : i ran Ccleaner in my laptop , how do get way of the duplicates? many of them are the same and duplicated three to four five times. Thanks.
I’ve followed loads of RU-vid tutorials and still can’t find the issue to why my PC ran at least okay but now has dropped off in performance when I have cleared my system and have no startups or other programs that run, I simply have problems trying to browse my browser
Have you tried a different browser? For example, mozilla instead of microsoft edge. Or if you're talking about your Windows File Explorer "Browser" then that's a whole other kettle of fish. I had issues when I was connected to a VPN and/or Network Location. Good luck
I had a similar issue when running a VPN or being connected to a Network Location. Otherwise, one of the solutions in this video should help. Particularly clearing your disks if they're getting full
Succesful Archi Student thank you so much the problem was malware i had like 17 malwares on my pc i had no clue how LOL ty its running like it should right now! i used adwcleaner to scan the malware and it deleted them
I have this old laptop I found trying to use it as a little work computer I could bring with me nothing big it's a slimbook iCraig I have other computers but they're not usable on-the-go this thing's like a tablet it's so slow but barely used
I plugged my PC into a lower quality monitor and for sum reason almost all of the problems I had with it including it being slow we're gone and I'm confused why
Do you have any video about graphics cards. Because mine isn't working like it's supposed to so can u tell me if you have a video or explain me how to fix it
bro help me please. like, my pc works fine i go to sleep the next day it works like a 20 YEAR OLD PC . HELP. I CANT EVEN OPEN A APP CUZ IT TAKES 1,5 years
If you tried the steps in the video with no avail, you could have a virus. Make sure you download an anti-virus and malware software and run a full scan. Your computer could also be doing automatic updates without you knowing, causing the computer to slow at times
Viruses can stay on your system when doing a factory reset in some situations. Otherways, perhaps one of your hardware components has overheated and broken hence causing your computer to run slower.
@@kylesinko hi mate thanks for reply I’ve sorted it now changed a few settings but I realised I had a small break in the power supply once I sorted the power supply it’s working fine
Whats the solution when the Linux on my dual boot PC runs so much faster than Windows. Like I can open 5-6 apps on Linux and I can only dream of doing that on Windows.
