[SOLVED] My PC is running slower after installing graphics card?

[ekubo]

I bought a graphics card last week and just installed it tonight and now my PC is running significantly slower than it was when it was using the on-board graphics card.

Programs that would open instantly now take around 3-5 seconds to open. Windows 10 also runs slowly, it is like the CPU is messing up now or something.

Basically I had to disable the on-board graphics in the device manager before installing my new graphic card, and I have also downloaded the graphics card drivers for the new graphics card.

I need to use the graphics card for gaming because the PC won't run the games without the graphics card but with the new graphics card installed everything except being inside the game runs significantly slower, even the menus for the game is slower and only the actual gameplay runs better.

I also do not know how to re-enable the on board graphics card to try running the PC with the on-board graphics. I also overclocked the CPU and RAM after it started running slower and that made no difference at all and it is still running exactly the same.

PC Specs:
Motherboard: ASRock B450M-HDV R4.0
CPU: AMD Ryzen 2200G (w/ on board graphics) -> overclocked to 3900
Graphics Card: ASUS NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1050 Ti
PSU: 450W Corsair Bronze Rated
240 GB SSD
RAM: Patriot Viper 4 Series 3000MHz 8GB Dual Channel DDR4 -> overclocked to 3200
Windows 10

First i've gotta say the obvious. Attempt to restart your computer and see if the propblem persists. You'd be surprised as to how many don't do or think of this when they have a problem.
NVidia drivers typically have a "clean install" option in the installer. Try re-installing the driver using that setting. That will typically fix many issues. Also consider removing unnecessary drivers, as you could have a conflict somewhere.
