Question Long Boot Time & Performance Issues After Ryzen 5 7600X Upgrade

[GM95]

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded my CPU from Ryzen 5 8400F to Ryzen 5 7600X and installed a Hyper 212 Black X Duo cooler. Here's my full setup:

• CPU: Ryzen 5 7600X
• GPU: ASUS RTX 4060 Ti 8GB
• Motherboard: ASUS Prime B650 Plus
• RAM: 2x Kingston Fury Beast 16GB DDR5 5600MT/s
• Storage: Samsung 990 PRO 1TB NVMe
• PSU: Gigabyte GP-P750GM 750W (80+ Gold, fully modular)

What I did so far:​

• Installed the new CPU and cooler properly
• Reinstalled Windows (GPT + UEFI)
• Updated BIOS to the latest version
• Installed all drivers (chipset, GPU, etc.)
• Also checked for the drivers on https://driverhub.asus.com/en
• Checked BIOS settings:
  
  • EXPO (XMP) enabled – RAM running at 5600MT/s
  • Fast Boot enabled
  • Secure Boot enabled (Windows UEFI Mode)
  • CSM disabled

Issues I'm facing:​

• BIOS boot time is very long (~27 seconds)
• Lower-than-expected performance (UserBenchmark scores worse than before upgrade)
• System feels slower than expected for this configuration

Additionally, I tried enabling Memory Context Restore, but it caused BSODs. Then, I also enabled Power Down Mode, but the crashes persisted. To troubleshoot, I reinstalled Windows again and set RAM speed to 5200MHz in BIOS.

When I enable Memory Context Restore, I am getting BSODs immediately.

• MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
• KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
• CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED

UserBenchmark scores from yesterday and today:

1. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/69729501
2. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/69731723

Tried resetting CMOS, tweaking BIOS settings, unplugging peripherals, but nothing helped. What else should I check?

I don't get it, I'm literally struggling here.
