My PC is dying / getting superslow

With your help I hope to find out where the problem is, as I dont want to buy a complete new one.

My specs: http://ift.tt/2wLBTxi

I know not the newest rig but it should still work decently for most games and especially browsing etc. should not be any problem.

It is always slow but sometimes it spikes hard where it feels like my PC aint doing shit for 2sec. Gaming, asides from league which runs pretty ok is not enjoyable at all. But the performance is so bad that even browsing is not enjoyable at all.

Since Im a very active gamer my PC was running alot those 4 and a half years. Especially the last 1 and a half year it was running pretty much 24/7 with black desert online always running in the background.

What did I try so far?

  • All drivers are updated

  • Temperatures are good

  • Everything inside is clean

  • Memtest done, no problem

  • Prime95 test done, blue screen after 35 mins (Im not sure which of those 3 tests, I guees the one which focuses on cpu)

  • SSD s.m.a.r.t. test by crucial's own software done, no problem

  • Furmark to test graphic, I dont rly remember what the result was but I dont consider my graphiccard as the problem as everything is lagging

  • Tweaked nvidia setting to full performance, no change at all

  • All games to lowest possible graphics, no change at all

  • Upgraded win7 pro to win 10 pro, no change at all

What I didnt try yet:

  • Fresh windows install with wiping everything.

  • No idea how to test if the mainboard and the "power supply thingy" works (not sure whats the correct english term is)

My guees:

CPU. Since it failed prime95 test after only 35mins or one of those 2 things I didnt test. Also I need to upgrade my RAM to atleast another 8 GB.

Any suggestions and opinions are welcome

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
