Windows becomes unresponsive after increasing its performance settings.
Windows becomes unresponsive after increasing its performance settings.
So recently I increased my CPU's clock speed to 3.9 ghz and now the system is freezing a lot. I adjusted the core voltage to 1.35 and the machine passed stress tests. I’m unsure if it’s due to insufficient voltage or if Windows itself is the issue. Note: After installing a new motherboard, Windows wouldn’t boot normally, so I had to boot in safe mode, restart, and then it worked. I don’t know if that relates to anything.

Honestly, I didn't think I needed to. Can I still keep all my programs?
Short answer...no.
It turns out changing the motherboard often leads to driver conflicts and issues with references to the old system. You might not even be able to boot, or if you do, there could be problems. Despite the hassle, it's a good chance to start over and ensure everything works perfectly.
Programs from the old setup usually need to be reinstalled due to references to the previous hardware and Windows registry settings. The only reason I usually save them is...
drop the overclok to 3.7 and observe the results, you mention not overclocking for your RAM, but are you enabling XMP mode? Perhaps disable it and check.

try dropping the overclok to 3.7 and check what happens, you mentioned no overcloking for your RAM, but are you enabling XMP mode? Perhaps disable it and test.
I used 3.9 and adjusted it down to 3.8 to investigate if that was the issue, and I don’t have an XMP profile set up.
I didn't realize I needed to do anything. Can I retain all my programs?
BluGekko :
Yeah i didnt really think i had to. Is there a way i can keep all my programs?
Short answer...no.
Unfortunately, when you change the motherboard, it frequently causes issues with confliction of drivers and references to the old motherboard. It may not boot, or if it does run, it can have issues. As much as it sucks, it's a good time to start fresh and know you're getting 100%.
Programs from the previous installation typically have to be reinstalled because of references it makes to the old hardware and the Windows registry. The only thing I typically save because it is not that difficult, is emails, contacts, photos, music, videos, etc..

Programs from the old setup usually need reinstalling due to hardware references and registry links. The only things I usually save are emails, contacts, photos, music, videos, etc.
My Windows was installed on an SSD. If I reinstall there, can I keep what was on my hard drive?

I didn’t really consider it necessary. Can I still maintain all my programs?
Short answer…no.

My Windows was installed on an SSD. If I reinstall there, can I retain what was on the original hard drive?
Yes, except for programs on the second drive, which may need reinstallation due to missing registry keys.
I do the same process, as it’s much easier when you have to reinstall the OS.
