Yeah - a while back I was experiencing some massive lag issues, graphics issues, internet issues (slow loading times, etc etc) and it all culminated in one day experiencing BSOD OVER and OVER again to the point where even when I was trying to reinstall windows, BSOD.

The BSODs began occuring when I was playing XIV so I'd assumed it had something to do with XIV - defragged my HDD, ran test after test, everything seemed fine.

Ended up buying a new HDD (I didn't have enough for an SSD and didn't want to skimp on space because I do a lot of gaming and video editing and art, and I only had $100 to spare)

All my problems went away the moment I switched out drives.
