Mcky Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 (edited) I bought this low end PC circa Jan 2007.Intel Core2Duo E6600 2.4GHZ OCed 3.0GHZAsus P5B-E Plus1GB DDR667 Twin-XXFX XXX Geforce 7600GT DDDR3 256MBSound Blaster X-FI XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional500 GB Seagate SATAII HDD with Perpendicular recordingDVDRW NEC 16XCoolermaster 600W Extreme PSUWindows Vista Home PremiumPerformance was slow with/ withaout Aero!! Downloaded latest drivers from nvidia, asus and creative. But the performance was still slow. The cursor was lagging and opening applications took at least 30 seconds. Bootup took 10 minutes. I think I wasted my money on such a crappy system. I got 0.2 for the Windows Experience Index and weakest link.. is my CPU. What teh heck?? I should have bought a Pentium D. Much higher clock speed. someone help? Do i have to reinstall vista? That would take at least 5 hours Edited February 2, 2007 by Mcky
Tarun Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Is your hard drive set to FAT32 or NTFS? Recovery partitions should be left alone. But you may need to convert your drive with Windows on it to NTFS.Who is the manufacturer of your computer?
cluberti Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 0.2 for your CPU seems like a misprint - perhaps you meant 2.0?
ripken204 Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 (edited) um.. whats ur cpu temps? and give us a shot of the 1st page of cpuz. Edited February 2, 2007 by ripken204
fizban2 Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 sounds like you might have a bad CPU, or bad board, try pulling down the OC and see if it registers any better
nuhi Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 ripken204 is on the ball, definite possibility that it's the thermal protection from the CPU, it's overheating and throttling down.Try changing "OCed 3.0GHZ" to blank. Your machine should be very fast without overclocking, set everything to auto in the bios then see how it's performing.
LeeD Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 First, I'd run your CPU at stock speed until you solve the issue Have you installed the Intel inf drivers for your CPU? Should be the first drivers you install after booting into OS first time after clean install.
