Desktop slowdown

[Theocnoob]

How would a PC botch as OS if the hardware did not do it, I don't see your logic here?

I've seen botched windows installs twice working at a repair shop. Installed windows, system behaved strangely, slow... reinstalled, problem went away. No bios settings were altered. I'm just saying, it happens.
No idea what the cause is and in both cases they were Core2 Duo based laptops and Win 7 64 was being installed.

Dangerousoul,

Did the clean boot help at all? Somehow I missed that your system was locking up during games, what graphic driver version are you using? Have you tried a different version?

What temps is your PC running? I've seen high temps cause all sorts of strange affects on a PC system. If this were a guessing game (which it is most of the time) I'm guessing to too much or bad thermal on the cpu, possible poorly seated memory and/or gpu in the socket. Those type of things will cause a botched OS install, where it's recognized and seen by the bios but when running power though it the connection is just good/bad enough to cause instability. This is just my $0.02.

To be fair, the highschool kids doing coop at the shop did the initial install both times so they may have been at fault.

Temps are fine man.. My gpu reaches 68 69c and cpu never goes above 45c, So no problem there. I rechecked if it was seated correctly and it was. So no problem there also..Thermal paste is good also, I put always thermal paste on the middle of cpu then with my cooler it spreads evenly.. Don´t know what to do more..I did tests after tests.

Yeah mate for sure.. The machine is in the store.. I´ll tell u something when i have it back =).Its taking too long because of comic con =(.My guess is gpu or psu..It doesn´t last forever, if it is the case i think i will buy corsair rm850x 850w psu.

I'm Glad it was the GPU that fixed the problem. What GPU did you get?

It was the PSU mate.. My mistake writing =). I bought Corsair RM850i 850w 80+ gold modular.

 

[wingman99]

Wow, so it was the PSU. I have a Corsair it has been working great for 8 years.

I'm surprised. That's a very good Seasonic based platform. They will replace it I have no doubt.
