I assembled a computer and it lags a lot (especially when a browser is open).

As recommended on a different post, I ran a full Checkbox test to see what the problem is. It repeatedly returned a "disk/detect" error. Edit: it literally says nothing else on the issue. I've gone into the saved logs as well. For this test it says nothing else.

I read that that test was based on the lshw command. When I run that command, it seems to run without any problems.

How do I fix this error? Is it likely to be the cause of the laggy performance?

Edits:

I checked out the BIOS. All pieces of hardware appear to be correctly recognised.

Main Specs

CPU: Threadripper 1950X

RAM: 32 GB

Motherboard: Asrock X399 Taichi

GPU: GTX 1080 Ti

Drive: Samsung 960 NVMe. I bought it new and unused.

Software: Ubuntu 16.04

Power: 1500W - which according to pcpartpicker is a huge surplus (I designed it for multi-GPU but only have one for now).

I would test first by running Ubuntu off a Live USB disk or switching out the HDD if that is possible.

That would tell you a lot. If it is the HDD, well, just reinstall Ubuntu, if not, my guess would be a power supply mismatch?
