Hello everybody,
What have I changed?
Due to the discontinued support of Win7 I decided to rebuild my computer, replace the old 120 GB SSD disk (ADATA 2.5'' SATA 6GB/s 500 Series S510, 120 GB) and save Win10 (Microsoft Windows 10 Pro (64-Bit)) to a USB stick via the Windows 10 Update Assistant and then install it on a brand new 1 TB SSD disk (1000GB Crucial MX500 2.5" (6.4cm) SATA 6Gb/s 3D-NAND TLC CT1000MX500SSD1)). In the course of this, I also replaced my old Corsair CMP8GX3M2B1333C9 RAM bars with new Corsair CMV16GX3M2A1333C9 bars and upgraded them to 16Gb.
The rest of the unchanged hardware is:
After installing Win10 I installed my calculation/display programs for work like MatLab2020, OriginPro2018, MicrosoftOffice and AdobeReader as well as leisure programs like Twitch, Discord and the game World of Warcraft.
Problem:
Unfortunately the PC is now running significantly worse than before.
RAM usage is much higher and even worse is that I have peaks in the CPU and GPU workload (more rarely in the ethernet) all the time, then the Display turns black for a short time, everything stops and continues 4-5 seconds later. Shortly before that, the load falls far down and then goes up to 100%. In some programs I can cause this consciously. For example in the game World of Warcraft when I just want to make a movement. It still works if I only use Firefox, but games or display programs that were running nicely before will bring the PC to its knees now.
What have I already tried:
I have already tried updating the drivers. I tried both the Intel® Driver & Support Assistant and DriverFix as helper programs and both said that all drivers were up-to-date.
I also tested the temperature of CPU and GPU with CPU-Z and GPU-Z and I think they are not too high.
I also tried to install the old RAM bars again, but I was able to cause the same problem error 3 times in a row.
I just read that my CPU "i5-2500" Codename "Sandy Bridge" does not support Win10, however, in this Forum it is written that this is not really true (https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/i5-2500-compatible-with-windows-10.3018860/). Are there any new information or something I could do to run win10 execpt buying all new hardware?
A BIOS Issue is mentioned but I have no idea how to tackle that. I never changed anything in the BIOS yet.
Many thanks to all
