Check your task manager and look at your usage % for everything

Someone told me to reformat Windows again? But I can't see that doing anything.

 

[bmockeg]

Yes, you said usage goes to 40% and the computer skips. What does it say while this is happening?

 

[scottwebb61]

Well It hasn't skipped In about 30ish min, I didn't have task manager up when the skips happened.

 

[bmockeg]

What were you doing during it?

 

[scottwebb61]

Literally nothing, I was setting up my browser so I could look at my e-mails and come on this forum because of the spikes.

 

[bmockeg]

Well, you need the task manager up to see what is spiking.

 

[scottwebb61]

Well It hasn't spiked now In some time. But I'm stumped on why I'm not getting the performance I should.

Sorry if I missed this (so many posts). If you haven't reinstalled windows, DO SO. It is the easiest way to outrule any software issues, as reinstalling fresh will ensure that you have most of, if not all of the proper drivers installed for your system. For example, I myself was previously using a 2700X build, but when I had to go back to my old skylake system (which is still JUST FINE for streaming if you already own one btw, don't go buying one if you don't), I was experiencing EXTREME hiccuping along with really high resource usage. Reinstalling windows should ALWAYS be on your to-do list if you're making a major system upgrade.

He claims he did a fresh install which is why we are troubleshooting.

Reason I was asking was because his wording made it sound like he didn't end up doing so. My bad if you already have, OP.

 

[bmockeg]

Yeah, was just letting you know.

GPU score is alarming and I'm wondering is your HDMI plugged into the GPU or the motherboard?

CPU isn't boosting. Try downloading MSI afterburner and checking your temperatures.

It is possible you have something wrong in bios as far as CPU is concerned.

 

[scottwebb61]

Aye I have two monitors, both plugged Into the GPU. I can see my GPU temps on HWMonitor, they sit on 50c without gaming but using my pc as normal.

 

[bmockeg]

What GPU driver did you use? I would get the latest one,from nvidias website

 

[scottwebb61]

398.82 I checked If there was a more up to date one but there Isn't. From NVIDIA's site.

 

[bmockeg]

Try uninstalling and,reinstalling it and run the benchmark again

I made sure that the power options were on High Performance and the same In the NVIDIA Control Panel. Still the same.

Well,if you are sure you completely reinstalled windows and have the latest drivers all I can figure is your GPU is a dud. You could check bios and,reset the default settings and,try again.

The GPU was working fine with my other parts before I put the new mobo/cpu/ram In.

 

[bmockeg]

Did you try resetting bios to default settings? And you completely wiped the SSD and installed windows fresh?

Aye the BIOS when I went Into It said It was reset and yeah completely wiped the SSD as I wanted to have a clean Install when I got the new parts.
