INTEL CORE I9 9900K with maximus hero slow boot & applications

Hi All,

First time posting as I usually work through issues myself as I hate being beaten lol. Purchased the above from OC all went together well no issues at all no beeps or problems! However the boot process is taking forever and when it finally loads into windows 10 it feels like I am running an old pentium! I have 16gb ddr4 which came as part of the bundle I have one ssd and 3 normal HDD's attached plus the 256g M.2 SSD which also came with the bundle. Just can't work out why the whole system is lagging so badly, I have set the boot priority as well I just cannot seem to find out whats going on.

I am getting no errors at all, and nothing is obvious.

Any help would be appreciated.

Bios updated and optimised defaults loaded?

Hi there, all updated I did it from the USB I had geared up and ready.

Disconnect all other hard disks apart from the boot drive. Fresh install?

Bartlow · 6 Feb 2019 at 12:53

Hmmm I hate to say it but the fresh install was next on my list

was really hoping I wouldnt need to

Maybe windows has been installed on to, and is booting from one of the HDDs.

Could well be what was odd is my usual win 10 install was installed on my ssd which I had from my previous PC (before the upgrade) however I think the free M2SSD that came already installed on the board also has windows on it so maybe you are right maybe a clash there somewhere. My most important data is on my HDDs so hopefully none of it will be affected if I do a fresh install?

This is driving me crazy now! Went back to the bare bones and still the system is as slow as a snail running out of ideas!!!!!

Do a fresh install on a new hard disk and put your old master drives to one side.

Bartlow · 6 Feb 2019 at 21:26

Yea may have to give that a go! I have just gone in to task manager and there is something running called “system interrupts” taking up 86% of cpu usage what the hell is that! Also wanted to ask the supply to the cpu has a 8 pin which I have plugged into psi but there is also a four pin as well do I have to use the four pin as well to power the cpu?

System interrupts is apparently normal. Link below suggests it could be driver related if cpu usage is showing as high.

You only need to plug in the 8 pin.

I had this issue when my 2080Ti started to fail. Then it died.

You do need to sort out the Windows on multiple drives thing. Also, the other day someone with a new pre-built was complaining about lag even on the desktop clicking things and they said it turned out to be graphics driver that needed updating. I'd never have guessed that could cause that kind of lag.
