No, set up a USB with a fresh clean OS image and install it over your current one. That'll nuke the old OS

8 gig single channel at 2400MHz

Pretty sure this is a big part of your poor performance.

 

Slow, low capacity, single channel RAM is probably your bottleneck. If you get another stick or replace with a 16GB stick of 3200mhz RAM, it will probably greatly improve your performance.

It 100% will but I think a game like fortnite should be able to run with the equipment I have

Would formatting my pc do anything or resetting it

You are probably hitting a capacity wall also, and swapping to page file which is causing the bad performance.

Page file??

If you run out of physical memory, windows will use your hard drive/local storage as virtual memory and this is called the page file.

 

Those storage devices are much slower than RAM, so it's possible this is happening. 

 

Even more likely if your BIOS is still somehow reserving 2gb for the iGPU from your APU.

 

Look at windows performance and tell us how much memory you have available and how much is hardware reserved.

sounds like you might need to start with a fresh windows install

Also, based on this I am assuming everything is on a fresh windows install; however, the way you're responding makes me wonder if this is indeed a fresh install or if like @5x5 said, you are installing drivers on top of drivers.

 

If that's the case, either a clean windows install or at least a proper DDU should help.

Could I factory rest my pc and then install windows again

How could I check this

It would be like adding more oil into your car engine when its low and then immediately changing it

 

just change it

So just re install windows

Did you fresh install windows or not?

 

Did you install AMD drivers on top of Nvidia drivers or not?

 

Regarding memory, you can check by going Task manager -> Performance Tab -> Memory

 

The whole memory issue was assuming your windows was fresh and/or there were no conflicts with drivers.

There is a fresh windows install but I did install drivers on top of drivers

You could.

 

If you already DDU'd and are still experiencing problems, it's a last try attempt to rule out software.

 

Can you quickly report the memory display as I explained?
