Hello everyone,

My PC configuration is:
Mother Board: GigaByte H55M-S2
Operating System: Windows 7 (64bit)
Memory: 4GB DDR3
CPU: Intel i3 530
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon R7 265

I have recently upgraded my Graphics card for gaming and that was a success, after the up-gradation my system has become very slow.

For example,
1- System boots very slow, Earlier it use to take about 2mins max but now it takes about 5-6mins.
2- If a process is running like coping file or installation or anything like that, then any other process take about 5 times longer time than it used to initiate.

Please tell me what to do.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, I tried what you said, but didn't help.

The main problem i am facing is that all of the operations/processes are running slow as if they are not getting enough resources to work with. For example, if the Memory is low then the system slows down but in my case there is about half of the Ram still remains unused still i am facing this same problem.

I also tested the performance with Windows and it gave me
Memory: 5.9
Harddisk: 5.9

Please help.

Thanks

Thanks for your comments and sorry for replying so late.

I ran the defrag, as you suggested, but didn't help. I am attaching the screen-shorts you asked for.

I also tried to my system without the Graphics Card(AMD Radeon R7 265) and it was working quite better then it was working with it.

Thanks again

Attach the screenshot of crystaldisk info software.

Also try uninstalling and reinstalling Gpu driver software.

Is there by any chance ram is running at lower speed ? Check bios setting for ram speed.

Thanks for replying and sorry i am coming back so late.

As you suggested:
1: I have updated the GPU drivers but still not use.
2: But to check the bios settings, whenever i try to enter the bios menu by pressing "Del" key it show me the blank screen with a blinking cursor. I waited long and tried several times but no use. So i took it to a computer hardware engineer and after checking the system he told me that the graphics card is fine, but it seem that the problem is with motherboard.

As a result, Now I have a new problem.
What to do next, should i change the motherboard because its already out of warranty and with the motherboard i may as well have to change the CPU too. Or is there any other way to fix this prob.

Many Thanks Again...

re-seat all the cables on motherboard.

its probably a loose hard drive cable.

And also tell about the Power Supply (PSU) brand, ratings... take a photo of the sticker on PSU & post here.

I upgraded the PSU along with the Graphics card, because the card required an additional power input. So i had to upgraded the PSU as well, It now Cooler Master 500W(as recommended by the vendor).

Thank you for the suggestion.

But i am kind of fed-up with all the checking this and that, it isn't helping much. So i am now planning to upgrade my entire system, which includes the Motherboard, Processor(CPU), Ram, HDD/SSD And Cabinet with the forth-generation i5 configuration.

The main reason i am thinking about upgrading is because i already have showed my system to few knows hardware guys and they all said 2 common things:
1: The motherboard is outdated and the Bios is faulty
2: And when it dies then the processor will be useless because of the outdated technology.

So, please suggest me the best Hardware for longer run. My budget is max 25K.

Many thanks again.

your pc is still capable enough IMO - read should not take 5-6 mins to boot. The issue is with the HDD. Try accessing bios without connecting the HDD. Anyway, if you want to upgrade get Intel Haswell i5 cpu and a suitable motherboard. Will post about more on this later.

I tried you suggestion.

I removed the HDD and tried to enter the BIOS, but no use. I left my system running for half an hour and still the black blank screen with blinking cursor.

Now i thinking to buy i5 4440/4670.

Please suggest which 1 is better and best configuration for that.

Many thanks again.

i5 4670 is better. Anyway, try re flashing the bios from within windows and try resetting the CMOS setting by removing the motherboard battery and placing it back again after couple of minutes.

I already tried that, re-flashing the resetting the CMOS.
That's the main reason i m thinking about upgrading the entire system.

Well, i5 4670 is good. Which MOBO and RAM is best with it. I am thinking about Gigabyte and Corsair Vengeance.

Please suggest me the best hardware for it.

Thanks
