okay. well i honestly think it would be more beneficial to just upgrade everything all together and et passed the issues of this. as this pc is well old enough for replacement.
i honestly just want a new pc. i dont want to sink any money into this one if it wont be beneficial or at least a worthy upgrade.


You literally probably just need a new os install, windows 10 is free, and if you want a license key there 3$ on ***
But you do you I guess.

Go to Microsoft's website and use the creation tool.
Install it to to a 8gb USB.

Never upgrade only fresh install.

i think i have issues with my ram.

fps drops like crazy in games. low and or high specs.
ive completely leaned out the pc fans
gpu was taken apart completely and cleaned.
cpu cooler was cleaned. i installed new thermal paste to both. optimized a few diff things.
still have issues. my pc also freezes and such when opening programs. or fails to open them completely. but once they are open its all fine and dandy.
temps are good on cpu. mobo.gpu. and the hdd
i also noticed. my mobo supports 16 gb. so i have 2 8 gb sticks in there for total of 16. when i open pc info it says i have 8?
is one of my ram sticks bad?
i removed them and blew out the area. re seated them. re started pc still shows 8 gb. when i open system information it says following


installed physical memory (RAM) 8GB
total physical memory 7.98
available physical memory 5.38
total virtual memory 16
page file space 7.98


so is it showing that iu have 16 gb ram? or is something wrong showing only 8 gb is installed..
also i checked and my setting arent set to cap my memory either.

im kind of thinking i may just need a new pc. but its kind of like issues started all at once.


Honestly, this doesn't sound like a RAM problem at all. It could be an OS problem. I'd be curious of what storage you are using.

its an older os. and im a hdd. ive been away from pc gaming for a little bit so i havent been up to date on upgrade. last thing i bought was a evga psu and a gtx 760 about 4 years ago or so. but ive already checked and i cant really upgrade much anymore worthwhile. cpu wise on this mobo. so i think the problem lies with almost everything in my build is just a bit old.

Unless you are on a 3rd gen or before Intel processor you can totally upgrade this computer to be reasonably quick. Can you post your specs?
