Hey everyone, I signed up on this forum because I am having a very frustrating computer problem. I really hope you guys can help me!
So I bought this computer about a year ago, it's a gaming desktop that I had my friend assemble using many new parts and old components from a much older desktop I had. Here are some of the specs:
Intel(R) Core i5-3570k CPU @3.4 GHz (4 CPUs)
16384MB RAM
GeForce GTX 660 Ti
Asus Motherboard
I've had a problem that I semi-resolved that I feel may be related to my current issue but I'm not sure.
That issue is that my computer will sometimes load up saying "The current bios setting does not support the boot device" or something along those lines. It wouldn't allow me to select the boot device I am using through the bios, and I've had to solve it using various methods of restarting.
My current issue is that lately my computer has been running slowly and freezing randomly. I'll be using my internet browser, and loading up something else (even as simple as loading up file explorer) and it will start moving very slowly and eventually freeze up, forcing me to restart with the power button. Finally, after doing this for about an hour and a half, my computer gave me the BSOD and the "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED" error message.
I don't know what to do, it's acting okay now but I know that if I open up another process on my computer (game, virus protection) it will act slow and freeze up again. What should I do?
