The problem is thus, I recently installed a Crucial BX500 SSD drive on my old war machine. I could see a vast improvement on load times,and the boot time was absolutely fine.
Wanting to improve further a bit on my PC, I decided to check what type of ram I got since it has been nearly 7 years.I took the direct approach and fiddled around removing one memory stick,I reinserted it,booted up the PC and it all went downhill from there.The boot time was almost as bad as before the SSD.
Any insight is greatly appreciated if anyone encountered something like this.
For further info the RAM is a HyperX FURY Blue 4GB,DDR3,1333MHz. I have not tried switching the sticks around ( I have two) , and in windows they are recognized 8gb as should be, but the boot time is just...bad. Could it be from the RAM or was the SSD affected in any way?
I reinserted the RAM stick exactly as it was before,did not change their previous slots in the motherboard.
