![]() I've been booting up from shutdown, then restarting immediately once I'm in windows, in order to reset my uptime. Doing that maybe 10 times in a row, loading a copy of a copy of a copy.I could see how that would begin to degenerate my session.įor the record, the ONLY thing that resets my uptime counter is doing an actual restart from the start menu. Shutdown MUST be putting it into hibernate, writing the session to the SSD, then loading that session again on boot, and adding the amount of time that's passed to the uptime. This should not be possible the computer cannot possibly be in sleep when there is absolutely no power running to it, and I've drained all existing power from it. When I woke up, I pressed and held the power button another 4 times, plugged the power cable back in, and switched the PSU back on. This most recent night before going to sleep, I shut down, switched off the PSU, took out the power cable, then pressed and held the power button 4 times, as one would to drain the CMOS. It should never exceed ~16hrs uptime.Īs it turns out, apparently shutting down your pc does not actually turn it off, but rather puts it into sleep, or hibernate more likely. This is simply not true, as I shut down my pc every night. I open Task Manager, check the performance tab, and I've got 3 days uptime. I remembered my discovery about the problem worsening in relation to uptime. The same exact problem is happening, but I'm on an SSD now, so I can rule drive type out. It made it a bit better, but I never found a complete fix, apart from reinstalling win7 and keeping the install as bare-bones as I possibly could, in addition to rebooting frequently.įast forward to now, running win10 on an SSD, with the old win7 drive still in the machine, used exclusively for data and games. I began restarting twice a day to remedy the issue. ![]() When I was using Win7 on an HDD, I noticed that the problem seemed to be worse the longer the PC was on. However the problem also happened(s) when opening new tabs in a web browser, especially load-heavy pages like Twitch. Did some research, turns out this is just something that happens with Steam, especially if you are an HDD user. ![]() It's as if the entire desktop environment is running at 5fps when the problem occurs. One of which being downloading games from Steam. A bit of backstory: For the past 5 years across multiple rebuilds, I've been struggling with an issue where my entire computer lags during certain scenarios.
