Anyone else experiencing severe slow downs with Aspire TC 780s (and 780As)?
Hey all!
Sorry to start my time here with a question rather than providing help, but I am really in a bind.
So I have a bunch of Aspire TC-780-UR17s (and some TC-780As) that are just performing atrociously and I cannot figure out why.
So we have about 7 total, and 3 of the 780s & a 780A slow down to a crawl after about a couple hours of use. Chrome, Word, File Explorer, Task Manager, and the search bar all take 30-60+ seconds (sometimes up to 3 minutes) to open or respond. CPU usage seems a little high at these times (70%) but nothing too bad. Restarting the computers helps for a couple hours, but then back to the slow crawl. None of them ever crash, blue screen, or other wise catastrophically fail, and I am at a loss of what else to do.
I have ran memtest86, Intel's IntelProcessor Diagnostic Tool (64 bit), Acer Care Centers SSD check up, monitored heat usage via CPU HWMonitor, all of which have passed any sort of metric you can think of.
I have wiped all of these machines multiple times and installed a clean version of Windows 10 Pro, and the only other non-standard programs installed on the computers are Office 2016, Chrome, Firefox, 7zip, and VLC.
I have updated all of the drivers and bios. I tried not installing the Windows Creator's Update, installing optional Windows update KB4078130 to revert the Spectre fixes, and various combinations of Windows Updates since at one point I thought it might be OS / Meltdown / Spectre related.
I am sort of at a loss here and am hoping others might have some guidance or can at least commiserate on these issues.
Thank you for your time, help, and patience on this!
