New PC performing way under spec, GPU detection issues

Hello all,

Here are the specs of the PC I built for myself a week ago:

CPU: Ryzen 7 2700x

CPU cooler: Stock Wraith Prism

Mobo: ASRock X570 Pro4

Ram: 2x8, 3000mhz, G.Skill Aegis

GPU: ASUS Tuff Gaming RTX 2060

PSU: Corsair CX650M, 650 watts

Case: Phantex p300

HDD's: 1tb WD, and 4tb WD

 

I previously had a Dell Inspiron 5675, but I found it to be under performing, so I built my own using the hard drives from my old PC. After I got some issues worked out and got it booted, I tried to play some games. I got 10fps in Fallout: New Vegas, and most other games were missing DX11 or some other thing. Then, I realized that my GPU wasn't showing up in Task Manager. I tried re-installing all of my drivers many times, checked device manager, and tried any other solutions I could find on the internet. I just did a benchmark on UserBenchmark (https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/20426044), and my computer severely under preformed in every category.

 

I'm starting to wonder if the old Radeon drivers are interfering, or if my drivers are corrupted somehow. I also haven't discounted the possibility of a bad mobo or bad card. Does anybody else have some ideas of what could be wrong, or any potential solutions? I'll try anything to get my PC running right. Thanks in advance for everybody's responses!

 

PS:

I am running Windows Home edition (64 bit)

I updated the Bios to the latest version in my troubleshooting

I have not recently had any crashes or error messages

You built a new PC and used the old HDD from the previous machine, no new Windows install?

No. I did not do a new windows install. I figured I could call Microsoft support and get it reactivated. That way I would save $100.

Do a new install.  Think it thru and you'll realize why it's necessary.  

 

Call MS after for activation help, or go inactivated, or buy a cheap key off the various sites.

So having windows inactive kills my performance? I thought that It didn't affect performance based on the video Linus did about having inactive windows in his vids.

No, having Windows install  from an old PC with it's settings and drivers that have nothing to do with your NEW machine... that's what is killing your performance.

 

Inactive or active, makes no difference.  Installing Windows and Activating it are 2 very different things.

 

Every new build needs a brand new fresh Windows install.
