New Build Slow, Run Tests?

Rowan88 · 17 Jul 2017 at 17:49

Hi,

I just finished building a new PC today. I updated all the drivers and done all the windows update but for some reason I feel it is lagging or getting slow at times, which shouldn't happen especially on a clean build and with these specs:

AMD Ryzen 1400
Zotac GTX 1050
HyperX Fury 8GB
WD 1TB HDD
XFX XT 400W

It may just be my imaginations because I am used to using my own PC which has a SSD inside it and is a little more powerful but is there any kind of tests etc I should run to make sure the PC is running at the proper speeds and effect?

I ran WD Lifeguard on Quick Test and it passed. I then ran MemTest for 30mins and no errors..

Currently running SFC SCANNOW to see if its a windows file error.

I know what you mean about me being used to the SSD but something still doesn't feel right, even opening folders has a delay or freeze of sort.

Thermals are fine, Task manager CPU and MEM are normal, lucky if they hit 50%. The only one that ever hits 90+% is the HDD.

For instance opening the NVIDIA panel in the taskbar, after a second the window comes up but its white... then after another few seconds it loads.. Does it pretty much everytime. Just seems to be unresponsive.

I looked in device manager and everything is installed, only thing I seen a lot of posts pointing to was the Chipset driver but I don't see that in my Device Manager, where would it be?

SFCSCANNOW returned this:

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some
of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For
example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not
supported in offline servicing scenarios.

Ended up running a test on my USB stick which came back write errors, re-installed windows using a dvd-r and so far I have ran scannow twice with no errors..

Finished installing everything, re-ran scannow and came back no errors. Here was Cinebench/Valley results:

So I can assume that is the PC all set up and good to go

I will mention it to them. They had a tight budget which I had to extend to be able to compensate the Elgato HD60S..

But when I drop it in to them I will mention SSD is probably the best upgrade he could do right now... even if its just a 120GB to start him off..
