This old computer is running extremely sluggish.
Hello everyone, I recently installed a new PC and it’s performing extremely poorly. The performance scores are at the very bottom of the percentile. Could you assist me in any way possible? See https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/30026184 I should mention that I suspect the motherboard might be the issue. When I try to activate A-XMP, the system won’t start and I need to reset the CMOS battery to fix the BIOS settings. Could it be that a defective motherboard is slowing down the CPU, RAM, and SSD? I’m barely able to use the computer at all. All components seem fine, though. I understand it’s not a high-end machine priced around $3000, but it should run much faster.
I saved and set up the latest BIOS and the most recent GPU drivers.
Get your AMD chipset drivers and BIOS separately. Here’s the link to download them: https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/...t-am4/b450
A random concept but bios settings and updates are completely separate ideas.
The issue with Bios settings is that trying to turn on A-XMP causes the PC to shut down completely. This seems like the simplest method for adjusting hardware settings, which is why I’m skipping any adjustments. It makes me suspect the problem might be with the motherboard itself.
