I am having trouble with my computer. It keeps restarting and is generally very sluggish (and loud).

I have ran a userbenchmark (results below). Can anybody recommend what upgrades/changes I could make to make it run smoothly.



UserBenchmarks:

CPU: AMD FX-4300 - 41.7%

GPU: AMD R7 250X - 17.8%

SSD: Spcc Solid State Disk 120GB - 163.1%

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 2TB - 63.1%

RAM: Unknown 4x4GB - 42.7%

MBD: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3



General Computer Uses:

Lightroom

Photoshop

Premier Pro

Solidworks 2016

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!!

What is the brand/model of your PSU?

And what are your CPU/GPU temps - idle and under load?

Core upgrade, CPU+Mobo+Ram

FX chip is old and poor! specially if your doing photoshop, video editing and 3D design work!!!!!!!

even i5 4 core or ryzen 1400 4 core would greatly improve your workload!

Thank you! Would they require any other changes? CPU, Motherboard, etc or would they be compatible with the current set up?
