I recently built my first computer after taking an IT class to learn how. Things went pretty well but I keep having lagging problems that happen randomly. It sometimes happens when opening programs like firefox or even when playing games. The hard drive is a seagate 7200rpm 2TB drive that is SATA revision III. I had it plug into the Intel controlled SATA III ports and the Marvell controlled SATA III ports with the same results (the Marvell had more lagging). Tried clean installs with both IDE and AHCI modes with the same lagging. Tried different SATA cables still didn't help. Then when I changed it to the SATA II ports the problem got better but it would still lag. I was told the hard drive wasn't very good so I tried the one out of my laptop which was a Seagate 7200rmp 500GB with 4GB of solid state memory. It improved the performance greatly on both SATA II and SATA III ports but would still lag during games. Then I put the 2 TB hard drive on the SATA III port not in a raid config to use as a storage drive. I install a game to it and used the same settings as on the 500GB drive but this time no lag. I have no idea what is going on.
