My top-spec pc cannot run anything anymore!

[dagon]

Hey. Im really mad right now. My exspensive pc (Not gonna bother to write down all the specs and such) has recently not been capable of running any games anymore. The only game i can play without fps drops is CS:GO, but when i play on faceit with 64 ticks, the processor went mad and almost shut down the pc. Before i could run absolutely anything, almost top graphic bf4 and such. Now i can't run the forest on the lowest settings without having crazy fps drps through the game. Please help!

Try defragging your HDD. Also, if you keep a couple of hundred games installed on your machine it WILL affect performance.

If its defraged it doesnt affect performance.

Well...not calling you a liar. But my machine seems to run better if I have more free space. Defragging helps with most of the performance loss. But I still only keep the games I plan on playing installed. Otherwise, I try to keep mine as clean as I can. It has kept my PC running in tip top shape....so I figure...if it isn't broke don't fix it.

This thread should be locked now, the OP isn't giving any details away on his system spec and we are all wasting our time trying to help someone who won't even tell us his computer spec.

Liar, what a word....
Better tell us why a lets say 1tb hard drive would be slower if you put 700gb games on it, than having only 250gb games on it.

Hey man. I was just basically saying I am not trying to insult you or anything. I am no super techie. But I can see the performance difference. I have a 1tb hard drive. That is what I use for Steam and my games. The more the hard drive is filled up the more it bogs down performance. The only thing I can say is that I see it. I can't deny what my own eyes see.

Laymens terms : The more data on a hard drive, the longer it takes to find data. The less data the quicker it takes to find data.

It doesnt have to search data.
If you have a 7200rpm hard drive, its good for gaming.

If you defrag the hard drive it doesnt make any difference if you have 100 games on it or 20. Because the data is most likely put together to reduce jumping.

At least here no matter which of my hard drives i used, playing games was never different.

To qualify that, that's only really applicable for mechanical drives that have physical heads/platters that need to move around, Solid-State Drives that are basically large flash cells shouldn't have that problem.

Download and run EVEREST free edition[www.techspot.com] … cuz I think everyone should learn the actual specs of their pc for future reference.

Everest? Really? The name alone tells you that this program has been outdated for like 5 years because that's when they changed its name to AIDA64...

I have AIDA64, but I'm not aware of a FREE version of it to recommend.
