I built this rig a few months ago and i have gotten into sim racing so to get all my ram working i had to upgrade to ultimate I started with win 7 home premium OEM from microcenter it was working fine before the upgrade now it is slower than my old p4 machine that is 12 years old
Try reinstalling the OS. Happened to me before, I don't know why.
Does your HDD light show reading at first 5 minutes of boot?
I have 32 gig of ram I know its overkill home preimum only supports 16 and under my computer description it said so I upgraded and now all i can play is diablo i am backing everything up right now what is the recomended way to reinstall ?
There's no current reason to believe you need to reinstall your operating system.
To repeat from my earlier post:
What does Resource Monitor say about your processes and RAM usage?
You most likely have something going on that is eating up your CPU cycles and/or RAM.
exactly what am i looking for in the resource manager if i look at the cpu usage when im not dooing anything its zero right now its at like 27 percent im transfering files to flash drive
That's normal.
So why do you say your PC is slow?
What does Resource Monitor say when your PC is running slow?
it takes much longer for any windows to open on the desktop it takes nearly 30 secs to open firefox for example then if i try internet explorer it is a little faster but when i try to log into i racing in sim it is jumpy and unplayable if i try a non web based game i can tell its lagging because the game such as diablo runs slightly slow
it used to take a few seconds for firefox to open ever since i upgraded it has taken much longer to open any windows
