I just reinstalled a new clean OS! Nothing bad on it, just have skype and steam installed. But my computer STILL freezes and lags? WHY? Someone help?
Have you done a disk scan, might have a bad sectors? also you could do a memory test (Memtest86 is prity good)
Yeah, sounds like a problem with your memory. Try booting with one stick at a time (make sure you test off of your RAM sticks) and see if that fixes it.
It is likely a bad hard drive or bad memory.
Here's a like for Memtest86+
To run a version of chkdsk you can:
- Open My Computer
- Right click on your drive
- click properties
- click tools menu
- click Check
On windows 8.1 it looks like this, similar on windows 7 I believe.
