Windows 7(64) Slooooow after buying new monitor

[bernard038]

Hello All,

I thought life would be somewhat nicer after buying a FUll-HD led screen, but unfortunately it didn't ..

I have a Desktop with:
- Core i5 CPU @ 2,8GHz
- Asus P7H55-PRO motherboard
- Asus EAH 5570 Graphics card ( onboard graphics are turned off)
-4 Gb RAM
- W7 Home Premium 64-bit installed.

Until recently everything was working just fine, but after:
- Setting my PC back to an earlier restore-point
- Installing my new and fancy monitor
- Setting the resolution to full-HD
Windows became incredibly slow, so slow that doing anything is consuming a lot of time.

I have:
- Ran three virus scanners (one from a live CD, to make extra-sure that i didn't have any viruses
- Ran a antimalware tool
- Made sure that all updates were installed (as downloading and installing updates consumes performance)
- Set the resolution somwehat lower

But still now results.... Does anyone here have any idea?

Thanks in advance!

Can you describe and specify the slowness? When and where is it being slower than usual?

Hi!

Well:
- The mouse is responsive
- Startbutton and menu are fine
BUT when i:
- Open any window
- Choose an option in this window (including my computer)
Everything slows down to a near standstill..
- After entering my password it takes a while for the blue 'Welcome'screen to disappear
- Updating takes longer than usual

This should have nothing to do with the monitor, can you try switching back to your previous monitor and see if the problem persists? Also, which resolution are you running now? And which resolution before?

Hello... Check in your Device manager for any un-happy hardware and drivers... Why did you load a previous Restore point?
