Hey,

This is a new build and it's mostly been untouched. I've got a couple games on there and that's it. When I'm playing those games (overwatch, CoD, etc) I run into 0 issues in terms of network speed, pressure on the GPU, etc.

There's an issue I can't pin point that's causing extremely slow loading when on chrome or any other browser - specifically Youtube. I've tried to enable a few things like hardware acceleration, overriding software rendering lists as well as test out simpler checks like clearing cache with no luck. When I play a video it automatically starts it at 144p. If I try to up the quality to 1080p, it essentially can't handle it and takes forever to load. Overall, most pages load slower than i'd like. Or at least slower than I'd expect a build like this to be able load.

Let me know if there is any more info that might be useful here


Build:
AMD Ryzen 7 3700x 8-Core
RTX 3070ti
32GB ram
1TB storage
Windows 10 Home
 
Both of these don't work :/

I even went as far as wiping my entire PC and reinstalling windows since it's fairly new and I don't have much on it.
 
I don't remember updating them in a particular order. Would that begin with updating drivers in system devices, then moving to my display adapters?
 
install first the MBs chipset drivers, then the storage/SATA drivers and third the graphics drivers then the reset of the drivers for the hardware that is in the system
 
Ok I'll try this. Uninstalling all of them, then starting from MB?

Is it the order that is the issue? Or that I potentially have outdated drivers for the MB chipset? I think everything is up to date
 
What is the brand and model name or number of the PSU.

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.
 
Something else i've noticed: the issues with the browsers also feels related to cache management. When I clear cache, it speeds up. But the frequency of needing to clear/manage cache is way too high. I definitely shouldn't need to be messing with it multiple times a day.
 
Probably a month or so ago. My other machines run fine and have 0 issues like this. I can even ping out to google from this machine with 0 drops while experiencing these weird browser 'no internet' errors.
 
Let's see if a clean boot affects this in any way.

How to perform a clean boot in Windows - Microsoft Support

Describes how to use the clean boot process to troubleshoot a problem in Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista.
support.microsoft.com support.microsoft.com

If the same happens let's attempt a reset of the affected system network settings.

Reset the network on the system see if that clears it up.

Go into Setting
Select Network and Internet
Make sure you are under Status in the left
On the Right scroll down and select Network Reset
Read the information and then select Reset Now
Select Yes for the network to be reset and the system to reboot.
The rest before the system reboots may take a few minutes
 
Did both and am still in the same spot. It's strange that it's really mostly Youtube that has the problem. Firefox opens youtube fine, then when I select a video, it pauses, then shows the "Connect to the Internet" page. Chrome still has an issue with buffering the video at the lowest res
 
Go into the BIOS and turn off the XMP feature.

With it being set to the 2666 MHz to see if that stabilizes it.
Seeing that the RAM is running at a higher speed than the CPU is capable of utilizing. Which can also cause bottlenecking
The CPU can only handle speeds up to 3200 MHz and yours is pushing 3600 MHz.

XMP-3602
Frequency: 1801 MHz

Looks like this did the trick! Thank you so much! Do you think this is something I'll need to revisit? I'm curious as to what caused things to go south in the first place.

Again, thank you both so much for helping here. Huge relief!

Windows 10 just has some wonky settings, and too much telemetry. The batch file disabled useless crap...

If you have this issue again just re run the batch file. Or start a new thread if it does not help. I am glad to be of service, tell a friend or two about the forum. :)

Marked as solved for you.
