I built my new pc a couple of days ago, but I kept a couple of parts from my old system (ram and storage). It's been pretty okay, but I know on startup it felt slower than my old i5 8400. After a while though it usually gets faster with time. This morning though I turned it on and didn't immediately go into windows and walked of to do something else for an hour then came back and when I logged into windows all of my startup programs were completely black. Wallpaper engine was on for about 10 seconds then turned off. I also couldn't right click anything, and it would let me open the taskbar to shutdown or ctrl+alt+delete.
I had to force shut it off with the power button. Then I turned it back on and it seems to be working now, or at least I had no problem when I got into windows. I don't know what I could of done to make this happen. I used DDU to uninstall all nvidia drivers, and I did turned XMP in bios (or the AMD equivalent on my board), PBO, and resizable bar. I also turn on smart access memory on my GPU. I've check all of the connections inside my system and all of them are snugly fit into everything they are suppose to go into. I haven't ran a virus scan yet, but I haven't really downloaded anything that would require me to.
I've also ran a couple of benchmarks and I'm getting exactly the same performance as other people with my hardware. I don't think my GPU or CPU is bad, but I did only use 3DMark. I don't really know of other benchmarks.

Could it be my CPU bottleneck? I was thinking about upgrading a couple of months from now. I also just don't think it could be that. I also haven't really felt a CPU bottleneck in the games I play.
