Unknown issue - Either faulty HDD, Memory or interference with my PS4.
I'm posting it here because I have a feeling it's my HDD acting up.
Ever since I changed my room looking, I put my ps4 on top of my pc, which has been having hard time booting and lags a ton while doing simple tasks with basically nothing running in the background. Here are my issues so far, listed:
1. Booting up takes 5 to 10 minutes. Sometimes it's stuck on the flashing bar, sometimes it's stuck on starting w7 logo and sometimes there no logo at all and just ''Starting up.
2. Rebooting doesn't fix it.
3. After that waiting time and fully loaded into my desktop, I encounter some weird type of lags:
-CPU lag spikes while doing almost nothing (graph shows multiple spikes at random times).
-Programs, even tiny ones, are taking forever to load or sometimes won't at all and gives me strange .exe error.
4. Anti-virus didn't detect anything.
5. Removed any kind of useless programs.
6. Disk-Defragmented
7. I run a chkdsk and unfortunally it was stuck on 12% for couple minutes so I rebooted. (I'll probably run one over night next time)
8. Memory test didn't detect anything.
9. Graphs don't show anything weird other than those spikes. Memory, CPU usage and temps are completely fine.
-Test with ps4 on/off results in my pc booting up perfectly. Lag is still present, though. See below.
-Test with ps4 off and completely away from my pc results in my pc booting up perfectly and lag basically gone.
Now to see if that fixed the issue entirely, but if not, what could be the cause? Faulty HDD? Damaged memory? I have no clue, but what I know is that it's not acting like it should.
