Hi there,
I bought a high end pc about 4 months ago. here are the specs:
I have been getting this problems seemingly randomly. first of all: when i press the power button to turn the pc on, sometimes it simply keeps whirring and does not make the beep sounds that signals the succesful startup. This means i have to hold it down to force the shutdown, and try again. usually works 2nd or third try. here is a video:

2nd: extreme lag spikes, again seemingly start randomly. if i ctrl alt del, it takes several seconds for task manager to come up, my mouse seems to be moving at a frame every 2 seconds, and while in voice chat my friend's voice keeps cutting out. This problem comes and goes frequently once it starts, and a restart is the only way i have found to ensure stable performance for long time. Here is a screenshot of the task manager and the desktop i managed to take during one of the lag spikes: notice the huge spikes in GPU usage.
even when restarting, it seems to lag. notice how the buffering sign is lagging:

Other than these issues, everything seems fine. Only other thing that gets me bit worried is a smell of heated plastic, even when temperature is arouund 75 C.
