Reseat your ram, try games

Remove one ram stick, try games

Swap to the other stick, games

Remove any and all storage that's not the main ssd, try games

So unfortunately, that did not fix the problem. It's still occurring. It happened while playing League of Legends, my computer slowed to the point of it being unplayable, but it was still showing 200 frames per second while it was happening. My ping was fine too. Mouse became choppy, sound slowed, etc.

Please if anyone has any ideas let me know. It's so frustrating as it's random!

XP used to do this poo poo with bad or failing hard drives. Zogo usually tells folks to do HD Sentinel, sure. Also I'd try crystal disk speed tests, and I'd also keep open a way to check disk throughput when it's bogging. You may have a fake or absolutely trash ssd cache chip and when writing to it your system has to wait until it responds

A shop would likely start with a reinstall. If you're okay with that, you can try too, but there are still steps you can do imo:

Drive health should be checked, and add-ons such as your wifi card should be removed to see if zogo is right (they could be! Good call!). Yes it's an add on, even if it comes with the board, it should be taken out if you want to test, but it's very important to be careful with it and it's cables.

Also a hail mary that works quite often but may do nothing for wifi:

Uninstall any anti-virus that's not windows defender for now. If that's done, or you never had any third party anti-virus, open a command prompt as administrator and run:

netsh int ip reset

Then press enter, wait for it to finish (SEEING the word "failed" on screen is normal as hell). Next enter:

netsh winsock reset

Then press enter. Restart and pray.
