PERK GET: TEETHOUT
EFFECTS:
-4 WISDOM (teeth)
-100 STRESS
+4 PILL BOTTLES
+1 MILDY ANNOYING PAIN
+1000000000 "I will never use all of this" GAUZE
Seriously? I just got this thing less than a year ago and the hard drive could be failing?!
Luckily, I have an almost exact copy of everything on my system sans Windows 8.1 on my trusty 7+ year old Laptop which has had less problems and still seems to be going strong, so if anything goes wrong at worst I'll have to reinstall a few games and may lose a week's worth of bookmark changes.
I ran multiple disk error or corruption tests, and none came up with anything... Odd.
Eh, maybe I'll head up to the local small computer shop and ask around.

I have had a few strange issues, but really though, I've only had this damn thing for a year (not even a full one) yet this nonsense is happening. ARGH! Cooling seems fine, I wasn't even doing anything that would cause any significant heat increase at the time.(11-10-2015, 07:34 AM)Shaadaris Wrote: Blegh, so apparently my computer is now having random periods of bullet-time.
By that, I mean everything at once, internet or not internet, will slow to an absolute crawl, folders take full minutes to load, google won't appear, switching pages on Steam will do nothing, etc. The worst part is, upon checking task manager, my CPU, RAM, and Disk usage are all minimal.
What the hell is causing this.
Luckily restarting fixes it... Except that it also gets stuck restarting it's so slow, so much that I had to manually shut off after it was shutting down for about 2 minutes.
Potentially GPU or PSU is on the way out (or if your power draw becomes to intense - my PSU is barely capable of sustaining my GPU atm so if I try to overclock it I get massive instability). Could also be caused by overheating - is your cooling adequate?
Faulty RAM can also be responsible for that kind of thing. In general, erratic errors with no rhyme or reason are typically linked to hardware issues, especially when it causes things like stuttering, graphical glitches, freezing and so on.

Slowdown like happens when the disk is crippled.
