New PC running a lot slower than specs suggest

[heskeyisdabestxbl]

I just built a new PC and it's running games incredibly slow.
Here are the specs:
Gigabyte GT 730 2gb
12gb of DDR 3 ram
And FX 6300 CPU
580 watt X-power power supply
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 motherboard
900gb of IDE drives
3TB of S-ATA drives.

I was running rocket league at 20fps on my old optiplex 390 without a graphics card and on this system. After testing it for an hour of unbearable gameplay. Razor cortex said I was running at an average of 7fps.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Windows 10?

Use Task Manager and Resource Monitor to look for the bottleneck.

If nothing noted, download the GPU drivers, reinstall, and reconfigure.

thanks in advance

Go back to Resource Monitor (while not gaming) and watch everything for about 30 minutes.

Switch tabs, sort the columns, and just get some sense of what your computer is doing.

Leave the Resource Monitor open and slide to one side. Then game as usual while watching the Resource Monitor window.

Start with Overview tab and switch to the other tabs to focus in on anything that seems to be (or becomes) unusual or unexpected.

ive been running resource manager for half an hour and there has been almost no movement anywhere. seems to be consistent

Disconnect power to all but the system drive to see if the issue persists.

sorry i took so long.

with only the boot drive connected i ran a 1 hour benchmark in rocket league and gmod.

gmod- average 16fps max 23 (menus)

rocket leauge- average 8fps max 10

Can you try another known working monitor cable and even another monitor?

Can you try another known working monitor cable and even another monitor?

tried my main moitor with HDMI and VGA and my second with VGA.
tried the I/O on both the graphics card and motherboard

Any other computers having similar problems?

How is the computer connected to the internet? Wired, wireless?

Ensure that only wired or wireless is enabled - one or the other. Not both.

Check your network/router: look for duplicate IP addresses.

Run the built-in Windows 10 network troubleshooters - they may find and fix something.

If not, then download, reinstall, and reconfigure the applicable network adapter. Just in case something was corrupted.

all other computers are working fine

it is connected via full wireless usb adapters of witch i have test 3

no duplicate IPs that i could see

built in network diagnostics found no problems

reinstalled network adapter drivers and the problem persists. thank you so much for the help so far

Those wireless USB adapters ...

Makes and models? Current drivers? Configuration matched to your network?

You are only plugging in one wireless adapter at a time and verified that any wired network adapters are disabled - correct?

Did you try other USB ports?

That said:

After the system has been off for awhile and all cooled down. Feel the installed USB wireless adapter. (Remember only one USB wireless adapter should be installed.)

Boot up and work as normal but keep carefully feeling the USB wireless adapter.

Does the wireless adapter get very warm or even hot to the touch? If so that is a good sign that the wireless adapter is having problems.

now that you mention it the adapters were getting quite warm. i have tried multiple usb ports all with the same result. i will pick up a new one today and get back to you with the result around 6pm ish

Test the USB wireless adapter on another computer first.

Two reasons: 1) Ensure that it is working, and 2) not getting overly warm or hot.

Wondering if your computer's USB port(s) are faulty and destroying the wireless adapters. 3 have "failed" as I read back through the posts.

Prefer to avoid destroying #4.

USB adapters did the same thing on my old optiplex when i tested them. i have bought a new adapter and the overheating has stopped however the FPS has not improved

the adapter are all aging and old. they probably wore themselves out

Go back to as basic or minimal configuration as possible.

I.e., disable software in startup, disconnect extra drivers and peripherals.

Boot, watch Task Manager, Resource Monitor again. Then game and watch.

Need to narrow things down to find the bottleneck.

Take your time, be methodical.

ok so based on looking at task manager it looks like its a CPU bottleneck to be completely honest. when running the game it shot to 98% seconds after running the app. the cpu is perfectly capable of handling theese title tho ;/

thank you so much for the help

Temperatures: gaming and not gaming?

Any problems with applications other than games that may be CPU intensive?

according to HWmonitor my average is 28 idle and 45 while running rocket league.

and im running slow in OBS as well

Update: cpu is now running at around 85% with no obvious improvements???? not 100% if it is the CPU anymore
