So I have had my (lower end, specs below) R11 for about a year now, and have been dealing with spotty or just bad performance since day one of owning the computer. I have looked through many forums and tried many different “solutions” but haven’t found anything that has worked. Drivers and firmware are up to date. Turning to ask you guys here for assistance now.

The computer runs very slow a lot of the time, but occasionally runs as I feel it should. The computer takes an absurdly long time to boot, and directly after boot I am unable to do as much as open a chrome tab for ~3-4 minutes. The computer runs some games extremely well, while others that don’t demand as much run much worse. 

I am not sure if this is a hardware issue or not. Any advice or assistance would be appreciated, thank you!
