Computer seems to be slowing down on certain applications and start-up

Xbox1bluescreen · 12 Oct 2016

My graphics card recently died, it was a Palit jetstream GeForce gtx 780 with no indication of it losing life, it was just sudden. After that i was able to play a few games on my integrated graphics on low settings, for example rocket league and csgo, I could even run gta (non steam version) at 30fps on minimum settings but now my computer seems to be dying.
Every 2 out of 5 times I startup my pc it will stay on the starting windows screen for about a minute ( bare in mind my pc usually would load and be ready to use in under 30 seconds, yes i timed it

) I have also been having a problem launching and navigating Steam as it just seems to stop responding after every click ( I have uninstalled and reinstalled fully) and i cannot run any of the games i was previously running on my integrated graphics anymore as they seem to running extremely slow and freeze every couple of seconds.
I dont believe anything has changed since i was able to run them so to me this seems extremely strange, my computer was perfectly capable of running them for a couple weeks then all of a sudden it started to flop. Applications such as Chrome and discord seem to be fine and i can watch YouTube videos with ease, there is no problem running these other programs and I even ran a CPU test and it is working perfectly never reaching above 30% usage lol.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I believe you can see my system specs and I still have my gtx 780 plugged into the motherboard but its not detected.
thanks

What does Crystal Disk Info say about your SSD, also might want to check your ram to be on the safe side.

RAM - Test with Memtest86+
Downloading File /65980/CrystalDiskInfo7_0_4.zip - CrystalDiskInfo - OSDN

EDIT: If your 780 is dead and still in the PCI-E slot remove it as it will cause issues being in your motherboard. Also try it in your other pci-e x8 slot to see if your PCI-e slot just died and not the card.

I havent checked memtest yet and im about to remove the graphics card, the problem with me putting the card in a different slot is that it doesnt fit, its huge and my case is tiny lol

I cant really understand that post in its full text form, a screenshot would be better but if your drive showed as blue and not yellow or red then your drive is probably fine. You can see in my shot that Drive Y is going bad. Try the x4 slot then if your card will fit in it as it will work but just be slower.

i cannot physically fit my graphics card into any other slots,its too big

rvcjew · 21 Oct 2016

I would backup your D: drive and replace it if you can, are the games that are freezing on that drive or the SSD? I would still check your ram to be on the safe side and run your computer without the 780 in it so it does not cause issues being in a slot.

Xbox1bluescreen · 21 Oct 2016

yeah they are, i have moved cs go from it to my SSD and it runs fine. replace the HDD completely and yeah i have taken it out thanks. do you not know what the problem is with it ?

rvcjew · 21 Oct 2016

Problem with what the GPU or HDD is? Are you saying you have already replaced that HDD or will? I'm just a little confused about your question.

Xbox1bluescreen · 21 Oct 2016

oh sorry. should i replace the HDD completely? I have already taken out the GPU. Do you know what the problem with the HDD is?

rvcjew · 21 Oct 2016

They just Die overtime as they have moving parts and a lifespan, so do SSD's as they have a set amount of read and writes. If you have a external HDD then I would image your D drive with Reflect (link in my Sig) and then restore it back to the new HDD so that it is the same.

EDIT: was CSGO one of the games that was freezing consistently on the HDD?
