Hello there (again),
Every now and then my computer likes to have a bit of a breakdown (being HP and all that), and it most recently seems to be having big issues with Steam and Steam Games. As of now, I haven't been able to run OMSI (it either remains as a background process, or the launching window keeps reappearing and disappearing), and I've been having major issues downloading updates/games. Take Payday 2 for example-I started downloading it, its got to 4%, and for the last couple of hours, no further. The network usage peaks for a few seconds, then the disk usage, but then both drop dead for what might as well be forever. Even the task manager says that no disk nor network is being used. I'm currently using a wireless internet connection to my hub (got an inbuilt wireless card), and I understand this may not help. Ookla SpeedTest says I should be getting around 50mbps in the download department. I'm going to take it to Knowhow at the weekend to try and uncover any problems (especially hardware), and then possible do a factory reset. My Steam Library is on my HDD, which is indicated as having problems.
Any advice on what to do and/or try, what may be causing this, and any explanations would not only be much appreciated and useful, but also comforting in a sense.
Many thanks,
Jacob
