New pc, but so much lag….why?

I finally bought myself a new computer HP Pavilion 550-153wb Desktop PC with Intel Core i3-4170 Dual-Core Processor, 6GB,Memory, 23″ Monitor, 1TB Hard Drive and Windows 10 Home. I am using firefox and chrome for my browsers. Using acdsee.7, media players I use are kmplayer and gom player. But if I for example have acdsee open in 2-3 windows and at same time watching a small clip on either kmplayer or gom player the pc starts to freeze up, and I cannot even open task manager to close out some programs, because there is so much freezing and “not responding” I have to turn the pc off with the power button. Why?
I have scanned and scanned and no adaware, malware, viruses nothing.
Any ideas on whats going on? Even before I open anything I go to task manager and close out what I will not need running in the back ground. What in the world is causing this?
Answer #1
google “Decrapifier” and see if using that helps
I always flash the BIOS of a new PC
http://support.hp.com/
start here and locate the drivers and see if there’s a newer BIOS (& video card driver while you at it)
also check the BIOS settings for the CPU & memory
from your specs
6GB PC3-12800 DDR3-1600 SDRAM memory (3)1x4GB and 1x2GB I believe that this memory confg (a mismatched pair) only runs in single chan mode
get CPU-z to check that and your CPU speed
and that’s a pretty low end CPU, and i5 is the minimum I’d ever recommend
but if you want to get down&dirty with the i3 go to http://www.blackviper.com/ and tweak the services that load
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i3-4170+%40+3.70GHz&id=2522
and check out “FastStone Image Viewer” as a ACDSee replacement http://www.faststone.org/
uses way less resources

maybe the core i3 cannot cope with the multitasking …
mine intel core i5 sometime lagged when do multitasking

I have core2duo & I do multitasking without a lag maybe he’s facing different problem.
Answer #4
It looks as if ADCsee can be a CPU hog problem..

Just open it up once and see what CPU it uses in task manager.

Answer #6
Do the trial and error routine:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_and_error
For example: Simply uninstall your acdsee. Use some other software to take away lots of System Memory, then check if your Firefox freezes up again.
BTW. go check out

Much better than acdsee!
Also use VLC-player instead of gom, km or windows one.
