Fresh Windows 7 install large performance loss

Yep well might be worth trying another KB and mouse just to see if the problem remains if they are wired then maybe the USB ports need a bit of an update.
Anyway seems like you are going good so far - well done!!

Sorry my friend but I am not use to that program as I cannot make much of it so can you use this please and do PART A:

UsingHW Info

PARTA:

Youcan test the volts on the PSU with HW Info https://www.hwinfo.com/download.php < download the right bit version and close the right hand windowselect Sensors and scroll down to the power section where you willsee what the volts are doing see my pic. In my pic the section(Nuvoton)with VBATT as a dead give away you are in the section for the railvoltages. There are other section titles and one that pops up oftenis ITE(sometimesthe usual one for Gigabyte boards)

Nowthe voltage on the different rails have to be within 5% =+/- of whatis required or the machine will not work properly if at all.

Limits+/- (minimum - correct - maximum)

12v1 = 11.4 - 12 - 12.6v

12v2 = 11.4 - 12- 12.6v

5v = 4.75 – 5 - 5.25v

3.3v= 3.135 – 3 – 3.465v

-12v= -10.80 - -12 - -13.20v

+5VSB= 4.75 – 5 - 5.25v

ThePower good signal voltage at pin 8 on the 24 pin plug (grey cable) should be the same as the 5v rail reading/s

Seethis for the rail voltage info

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supply-specifications-atx-reference,3061.html(Section 2.)

Theoriginal right hand window shows the machine running and is handy forthat but for looking at the components in some detail close it anduse the main left hand side panel

FOROTHER COMPONENTS

PARTB:

Openeach small square with + in it on the section the components are inand then click on the individual component/s (it will highlight inblue) - in the right hand side will appear all sorts of detailsincluding brands speeds and other essential info that particulardevice. See pic for example.

Sorry about the font size but I have to change it in my Docs

Yep you did mate but it is one I am not familiar with if you run the one I linked and got a snip of that area I would like to see it would be more helpful in sorting out your issue.

If you don't know how to use the snipping tool see this

Ok mate yes that is the one an the rail voltages are looking good.

Now have you tried another KB and mouse yet?? I had a problem with my Asus based Ivy Bridge for over a year and half if not most of the problem was using a Gigabyte gaming mouse and also running MBAM in real time (that 14 days free trial) with my Kaspersky. Now I know for a fact that MBAM and Kaspersky do not like each other especially in real time so maybe try disabling your AV just for a test as well as trying another KB and mouse.


You have no AV listed so just what is that too because there are some that I will never use again.
