[SOLVED] Why is my computer so slow?

[Peiguy]

So, I finally got my 2200g system built and I loaded up roblox and it was laggy as hell compared to my old system which consisted of an i3 2120 and intel hd 2000, does anyone know why this could be happening?

I just built my first gaming PC and it's running extremely slowly, like slower than an optiplex, does anyone know why this is happening? Just to give you an idea of how slow, it can't run roblox over 20 fps on the lowest settings

Specs:
Ryzen 3 2200g
MSI B350M Gaming Pro
1tb HDD
Corsair CX550
Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Single DDR4 3200
Vega 8

Update the BIOS, make sure you have the latest drivers for motherboard and the graphics card.

How do I update the drivers?

How do I update the drivers?

Use this site:

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B350M-GAMING-PRO#down-driver

And for the iGPU, use this site:

https://www.amd.com/en/support/apu/...processors-radeon-vega-graphics/amd-ryzen-3-0

PS: I hope you are on Windows 10 64-bit.

Sorry about that it's just I was extremely worried I did something wrong during the build process and no one responded to my first thread, thank you and I won't do it again

Did you do a fresh install of Windows or use an existing hard-drive? If it was from another computer a fresh install of windows is where you should start

What is slow? Can you give some benchmarks in games or apps where you notice slowness? You do only have a 2200G so you need to make sure you expectations are for that CPU/iGPU combo.

I expect it to be slow but not being able to run Roblox over 10 fps on the lowest setting something for sure is wrong, I bought an HDD of eBay and the seller said it had "0" hours but it turns out it has been on for 910 days, the HDD had nothing on it and I installed Windows 10 64 and used it on a different computer and it worked fine.

Did you install all proper drivers ?

I'm figuring out how to do that right now but it's confusing as hell

Go here: https://www.amd.com/en/support choose "processors with graphics" > AMD Ryzen processors > AMD Ryzen processors with Vega graphics > AMD Ryzen 3 2200g. Download it and run it's .exe.

Comparatively it depends on what specs the Optiplex had.

Have you updated Windows and installed all drivers? Chipset, graphics, etc. Those will be the starting point. You could use a hardware monitor like Hardware Monitor to check if everything is running at stock clocks. Next would be to use an ingame monitor like MSI Afterburner to see if components are functioning during games.

Vega 8

What do you mean by 'Vega 8'?
Also, an SSD is almost necessary nowadays.

Sounds like a dodgy HDD to me. Get an SSD, they are much better.

Vega 8 are the integated graphics on the 2200g
