Half of ram usable, and low transfer speeds since upgrading
I recently upgraded my computer by replacing my motherboard, case, and power supply. At first I figured everything was done right, and it took a while before I realized that windows finds 12GB of ram, 5.99GB usable. Besides that, I also find that my transfer speeds by usb are incredibly slow, hitting a max of 5.7MB/sec, and normally sitting around 3.8.
I cant imagine what went wrong, except for fearing the worst; a bent pin on the cpu. I don't actually have any thermal paste, and cant remove/reseat it, so does anyone have any suggestions that might be causing these issues?
