Just upgraded to Ryzen 3 and it is really bad. I must be doing something wrong.

[Toastytoast99]

I just made the jump from a AMD Fx 6300 to the Ryzen 3 processor.

I didnt have a ton of money to spend so I went with the cheaper componets.

Current setup:

CPU : Ryzen 3 2200g
Ram: Corsair Ballistix Sport 8gb (1 Stick)
Mobo : Gigabyte AB350m-DS3H
GPU : Gtx 1070 FTW (EVGA)
PSU : Corsair 750M

I dont know why but when I open core temp it says the cpu is running at 923 MHz and at almost 100% load just sitting on the desktop. I didnt put in the cd that came with the motherboard as I dont have a disk drive in my computer.

I dont know why it is running so slow but the componets I bought were recommended to me at microcenter and I was told that they would be a ton faster than what I used to have. Please help.

What does the temp read on Ryzen Master?

What OS?
Did you do a fresh install of the OS after the parts change?
Drivers on that CD can be downloaded from the manufacturer, and saved to a USB.

Did you reinstall the OS or just swap the hdd and os to the new system?

I just swapped the new motherboard in for the old one after putting the new cpu and ram into it. And hooked everything back up. I didnt change any hard drives or anything

Its Windows 10, I did not reinstall windows. And after I download the drivers to a usb how do I update with them?

When doing a parts swap like this, and trying to use the original OS, there are 3 possible outcomes:

1. It boots up just fine
2. It fails completely
3. It boots up, but you have lingering issues.

You've found #3.
Time for a full reinstall.

With the windows restore tool would I be able to do the delete everything but keep windows option?

Probably not.
There is no magic dust you can sprinkle on this to make it work.

I only have a windows 7 install disk. I used the free upgrade period to get windows 10. What do you recommend I do now that I cant get windows 10 anymore?

 

[USAFRet]

First, is the current OS license activated in the new hardware?
If so, proceed:

Create your own Win 10 install here:

I turned on Game mode on Ryzen Master and for some reason the whole thing is now at 3.5 ghz and I can play pubg at at 144hz. The temp isnt doing anything weird anymore either.

Do you want this actually fixed, or do you just want to fake and play games?

I mean, the system seems to not be doing what it was doing before. I'd rather not lose all my files if it already fixed itself by changing cpu settings and restarting.

I am curious if a Windows 10 reset would fix your issues, it essentially does a reinstall over itself. No harm in trying...

 

[somethingname]

When you swap out new parts especially a CPU you definitely want to reinstall the OS just to be sure you don't encounter other weird issues later. Reseting should work I think either way it gives the option to keep your files. It creates a Window.OLD file and you just move your files to the new install directory.

USAFRet already gave you the best answer. Its not wise to use window 10 from other computer. I can speculate (might be wrong) that the first problem you report is due to the window 10 doing auto adjust into new hardware.

It is entirely up to you if you want to keep using the old window, but the best solution is new full install the window 10.

"I didnt have a ton of money to spend so I went with the cheaper componets." yeah right (while leering onto GTX 1070 LOL)

 

[doolittle]

...the Reset option is a great alternative to the old-fashioned clean install and it only requires a few clicks of the mouse, much easier and much less time consuming for folks who have never installed an OS.

That being said, yes I also agree now that 1803 is available going through all the hassle of downloading the ISO, putting it on a USB and booting it up for a fresh install is well worth it.

 

[nobspls]

If it works well enough, sometimes it is best to leave well enough alone. Ignorance is bliss sometimes.

The others are right that you should do a clean install if you notice any issues, but that is time consuming process. So you have to decide what is best for you. You might have gotten lucky, but if you are getting random blue screens, hangs, lock-ups later, you'll probably have to reinstall windows.
