New Build running slow

[jimli30]

Hi there,
I have a new build, a so called "Gaming PC"
I have had problems from day one but the main
problem the slow speed and crashing evertime
the graphics card is used.

Here are my specs

Windows 7 ultimite 64bit
78mlt-usb3.0 Gigabyte Motherboard.
6 Core Piledriver 3.9GHz overclock t0 4.2 but AMD tuned it to 4.7GHz?
HD6670 Radeon 2gb
2TB HHD

I cant even play GTA in low resolution because it's still jumpy
and it is the same with saints row and the new Tomb Raider.

If I try to do a windows performance test, it crashes also with
blue screen.

If anyone could give me any help I would be very grateful as
it has been 3 weeks and I am yet to enjoy a game.

The graphics card you have is hardly qualified to play any hardcore games at all in high detail. However, "This version has 2GB of DDR3 memory type which results in a solid fast-middle-class GPU capable of playing Very Demanding games like Metro 2033 and The Witcher II at medium settings smoothly. Modern demanding games like Crysis 2 and Skyrim V will run at high settings with fluent FPS. Its biggest hindrance is still the limited memory bandwidth, meaning it won't take advantage of the 2GB of video memory and so AA and other techniques might have to be disabled to achieve fluent FPS."



Also, the overclocked processor is definitely bottle necking your system.

your video card is a POS for the games you have listed.

who at amd over clocked the machine?.................

what monitor/resolution?

what operating system?

what ram and how many sticks?

The processor is an older model that doesnt perform as well as current AMD 6 cores

The graphics card is only suited for basic games at low resolutions

Anyone claiming thats a performance gaming system is deranged or dishonest

It has 16gb RAM, windows 7 ultimate service pack 1

The overclock was only meant to be a optimized tunes
done in the AMD software.

screen 1920 x 1080p

2 sticks

reset cmos. will put machine back to stock. buy a better video card. consult toms before you buy.

 

[jimli30]

If what you saying is true then I should be able to play in low/medium resolution at least.
and it certainly wouldn't be crashing whilst doing a window's performance test.

 

[swifty_morgan]

reset cmos.

 

[jimli30]

How do I do that?

 

[jimli30]

Done

 

[swifty_morgan]

done, what does done mean? you reset cmos and now it runs right, or reset cmos and it's still the same?

 

[Outlander_04]

It has 16gb RAM, windows 7 ultimate service pack 1

No game uses even 8 gig of RAM so that wont help , and Win7 Ultimate has more features which means its more demanding on the hardware so its likely to run slower if anything

 

[jimli30]

Ah really.. I take it windows 8 will be worse?

I think my problem is cheap motherboard and graphics card =(

Sorry i didnt follow up! I reset and it seems to be smoother as it aint crashing anymore.

thanks
