AMD Ryzen being really slow and sluggish

[neo_4_]

I just built my new pc and i noticed that's it's a bit slow. ITs a amd ryzen 1700 build and a gtx 1060. It takes around 1 - 3 minutes to reboot/boot up the pc, and it's vary very slow it takes a long time to load up programs and applications. Sometimes my games just crashes mid game etc…. I'm using windows 10 (not activated).

And you did a fresh install?

i installed it from a usb... i install windows like 4 times

Assuming that the install was fresh, is the hard drive new?

Is it a hard drive or an SSD? I would check the software that is started a Windows startup. Limit them to the software that you use on a daily basis. You can still run the software as needed, but it just isn't running constantly.

That should help the sluggishness. You can also run task manager to see what is using your CPU and memory resources.

Its a hard drive that i got off ebay it was a 2tb drive (refurbished)

 

[terry4536]

That is actually a reasonable boot time for a hard drive. I would not suggest buying refurbished electronics.

Make sure that the speakers are plugged into the correct ports (see your manual). Also have the audio drivers been installed?

At the bottom of that screen (with the checked audio highlighted), click on Configure. On the next screen, select your speaker type (a left and right speaker for example) Then select Test . It will play a test sequence on each speaker.

If you can't hear it , check your speakers. If they are powered, make sure that they are plugged in and turned on.

I tried it i only can hear from left to right. But i have another problem when ever i launch after effects chrome and other programs crash.

 

[terry4536]

I don't understand. It plays the test sound on each speaker (type selected). But you said that you couldn't hear the speakers. So......?


I have no idea what speakers that you have other than you couldn't hear them.
