Performance Issues?

[Fragil1ty]

So recently guys I've gone and bought a new psu and some more ram, and ever since then, I've been seeing performance issues within my system, hang ups if you will and sometimes I'm not even doing anything intensive.

I was doing some uni essay and bam, hangs for like 2 minutes, it's pathetic.

I upgraded my stock psu and stock ram to the following:

and

and now my computer is slowly turning into crap.

i've reset the bios to their defaults, but nothing.

any advice?

No BSODS.
Not got an SSD either.

I do not have a sandy bridge set-up, I have not bought some of them parts yet, I'm currently running:

the i5-750 on a intel DP55WB motherboard.

cpuz:

edit:

motherboard memory settings:

The settings you have in the BIOS are fine for the new RAM apart from tRASmin which should be 27.

You could also try upping the Memory Voltage a touch. The Kingston HyperX Grey usually runs at ~1.5V but it won't hurt to up the voltage to 1.55V to see if that's the issue.

Finally what is the make/model/specification of your old 4GB kit so I can see if it will run at the same settings as the new RAM.

Okies, I'll go and change that in the settings right away!

= my other ram.

That should work fine at the same settings you use for the HyperX.

I cannot change it to 1.55v, I can change it to 1.6v though, should I go ahead and do that? and great, that's good news.

@Subliminal Aura there are no errors regarding ram, ):

A bit limited on the options there.

If 1.6V is the only option you have above 1.5V then use that and see how you go.

There shouldn't be any problems running both sets of RAM at 1.6V.

Okay great, I'll go ahead and do that now and see what I come back with.
