hey guys i have had slow response times for like 3 months now on this pc and i have done OS reinstall i have checked my hardrives on memtest running it for 1 hour and 30mins. i have also reset my overclock on my cpu from 4.4ghz to 3.50ghz to see if it could be the problem. but i still get slow response times on my keyboard sometimes and in games does anyone know anything else i could do also when i drag windows applications around my monitor it drags behind it a massive white line with very rare missing icon on applications with a paper sheet instead.

hope someone can help

also please tell us what programs run on start up as sometimes a few of those can cause an issue

Click on start type 'msconfig' and then go to the start up tab, and start up items are listed there.

anyone?!?!

Disable all of those, reboot and see how the machine feels - if its the same run msconfig again and enable them all again.

tried it is still happening, i defo reckon its a hardware problem. my opinion is either ram or one of the drives

list all your hdd's/ssd's your using

made double sure your running sata ports in ahci mode in the bios?

also download cpu-z and look in the spd tab to see what make/model memory your using

ollie2k13 · 19 Jul 2014 at 23:54

can you briefly tell me when in the bios how i can make sure my sata ports are in achi mode please so i can tell you

only 2 hardrives i am using:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-257-SE (Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DM003) HDD)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-175-SA (Samsung 250GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Desktop Kit - (MZ-7TE250KW)

here is a screeenshot of my SPD tab:

i just feel like in genreal response time with this pc is very slow it was not like this in the start. kinda worried could have friend the cpu a little, can this happen?

wazza300 · 19 Jul 2014 at 23:57

I don't know on asus z87

but carefully look through each page it will say ahci or ide

it defaults to ahci anyway so if you've reset the oc or loaded optimised defaults in the bios it will be in ahci mode

have you enabled xmp, memory profile1 in the bios for your ram? it will set correct ram speed/timings/voltage

ollie2k13 · 20 Jul 2014 at 12:32

is my ram not set to the correct speed\timings and voltage?

wazza300 · 20 Jul 2014 at 12:38

look in cpu-z memory tab

ollie2k13 · 20 Jul 2014 at 13:07

here is a screenshot i dont know what to look for if its OC

wazza300 · 20 Jul 2014 at 13:21

yh

932.8 x that by 2 = 1865.6mhz ram speed

are you using xmp?

ollie2k13 · 20 Jul 2014 at 13:24

no i am not using xmp i just checked, i was in asus bios and it said there is a option for XMP on the OC tab i was on but it didnt give me the option to use it on the drop down bars on any, there was just AUTO or MANUAL

wazza300 · 20 Jul 2014 at 13:32

some memory has xmp and some don't

idk if you wanted to try more dram voltage,you should be safe to use upto 1.65v

according to the spd tab its only rated for 1776mhz @ 1.5v

ollie2k13 · 20 Jul 2014 at 13:51

ye i have done my research and it does not give me the option in my bios for the DRAM to be changed to xmp only auto and manual unfortunatly, you think its worth pull a ram stick out leaving one in and try with 4gb ram see if the problem has changed?
