My pc slows down when downloading

Steam downloads use a lot of disk activity, that's why. Post a screenshot of the download tab, including all of the green and blue lines. Last edited by MonkehMaster ; 14 Nov, am.

Funny, that was the one I was looking at when I started looking for you: Gaming 5. You must log in or register to reply here.

January - last edited January When orign is installed the computer runs very slow and intensive processes are running in the background, even after exiting orign. It makes my Battlefield 4 premium game a waste of money if Orign makes my computer unstable and slow.
