Comment on How can I find out what graphics card upgrade is compatible with my system?

Windows Update. If the thing was off for a while, expect windows update to cripple it until it’s satisfied.
-
Slow boot drive. If it’s an older SSD it might be kicking the bucket soon. Also, if your boot drive is over 90% usage you’ll definitely feel it.
-
RAM issues. Download RAMMon (free RAM checking tool) and let us know what you see
-
Thermals. If your CPU hits 90+ degrees then it’ll have to throttle down to save itself. Cleaning the dust helps a lot with that because dust is an insulator and traps heat in.

The drive is very full, so upgrading storage has got to be a priority.
Not sure how to measure thermals, but I will look for a way. There should be a CPU temp sensor at least.
I can test the ram with memtest86 which is already installed and post the results.
I don’t think it is Windows Update ;)
