It's been 3 months since I have my new pc :

Intel Core i5-12400F 6 Cores, 2,5GHz

16GB of RAM

Geforce RTX 3060

The thing is, everything I do on my computer is so slow ! I freeze and crash everytime I switch between my different programs, everytime I try to launch a game, everytime I make something on my computer!

More than that, when I look at the task manager with steam, browser and discord open the cpu use doesn't even reach 20%!

Everytime I launch a game that use a lot of ram and cpu I make sure to close my browser and every other useless programs but nothing helps!

Please tell me someone have a solution cause I feel like using a janky computer while it's completely new.

The first one is my browser

What's your RAM? Maybe it's too much for your memory controller to handle.

Well you don't need to ditch the SSD but a modern Windows should never be on a mechanical drive. Newer games also demand SSDs more and more so check their requirements as well. Ideally HDDs are only used as a data grave, not for things that actively read and write things frequently
