Have you actually updated the BIOS yet? Lets start there.

 

[Everesttheraccoon]

No I have not

Upload images to a site like imgur.com and then post a link to the image here.

The directions are very clear for how to accomplish the update itself.

Having but a single 8GB stick of memory will lower system performance quite a bit. The minimum recommended amount is 16GB (2x8GB).

After you update your BIOS, come back and let us know how it turned out.

 

[Everesttheraccoon]

What of stick should I get and I switch my monitor around and it work better but page are loading up slowly so it can be a Wi-Fi slow?

 

[COLGeek]

You seem to have multiple issues. Where do you buy PC parts from?

If you want to sort through issues, you have to answer the questions we ask. See a few replies back and start with those.

 

[Everesttheraccoon]

I buy it from Best Buy

 

[COLGeek]

You can get better prices for products from Amazon and Newegg.

Are these options? Or, only Best Buy?

 

[Everesttheraccoon]

Only best it a pre built I don’t know how to build pc so my dad brought one then 8 months later then this

 

[COLGeek]

The pre-built thing isn't an issue for memory. CyberPower uses standard components.

Something like these would do well in your system (remove the single stick of memory and replace with these):

A similar offering from Best Buy:

We still need answers to these questions:

What is the make/model of the power supply?

What are your CPU and GPU operating temperatures at idle and under load?

Are you connected to a 2.4 or 5 Ghz wireless network?

Are your devices drivers and Windows fully updated?

At first guess, your GTX 1650 is likely getting too hot and throttling (slowing down). Reducing games graphics settings may help with that.

The wireless performance can be related to poor signal quality, need for updated drivers, network congestion, etc.

To go any farther, you need to give us some details to work with.

I can tell what is the power supply is but the windows 11 everything is updated
My gtx 1650 does overheat it get 56 c
The network adapter says they update to date

Open the case and look inside. There will be a label on the side of the power supply with the information.

56C for a GPU is nothing. That is not too hot, especially when gaming.

What about the wireless network question?

You are making it difficult to help by not answering these questions.

 

[Everesttheraccoon]

Yes I used wireless connection
it is covered by a box’s

This answers nothing. Sorry, but this reply isn't helpful at all.

 

[Everesttheraccoon]

Huh the power supply is cover up

 

[Everesttheraccoon]

Now steam takes a long time to boot up but my pc act very normal

 

[COLGeek]

Sorry, but without information, we can't help.

Take it to Best Buy and have them figure it out.

Good luck.

Sorry, but posting a picture without context is like not answering previous questions.
