Question Very slow PC

[Hiatro]

Hello, recently I bought used Msi B450 Tomahawk with R5 3600, I bought a new R5 5600 and then I wanted to update BIOS so I can plug the 5600. First I tried it with Flashback+ which wasn't successful - I plugged in USB Disk, clicked the button got red light, the Pc turned on by itself and then turned off and the light stood on. I froze, but when I tried to turn the Pc on again it did without problems. In the end I managed to update bios via m-flash and install the new CPU. But new problem occured, everything is very laggy and slow - BIOS, files moving, windows itself, any app, just everything. Temperatures don't go above 40°. I tried reseating RAMs, trying single sticks, different GPU, different PSU, nothing helped. I have no more access to the old CPU, however, what could be the problem? Thank you

was the windows os from a old build if so then its gonna run like ass because that windows is looking for old files and drivers that arent there.

i would do a fresh install of windows first.

Did you clear the BIOS after the BIOS update. Meaning remove the battery or jump the clearing pins.

yup, several times.

have 1 stick of ram in slot 2.

only have the 1 harddrive which contains the os.

what ram are you using ?

also make sure there are no additional stand offs under the pcb as this can cause a short.

I tried rebuilding it to another case in case of some short. Still the same thing
