Unidentified slow PC

[PoshBoyGames]

A few months ago I built a secondary Mini-ATX and it seems a lot faster than my main PC I've been using and upgrading for multiple years.

I've reinstalled Windows and formatted my C drive a few times and it hasn't made a performance improvement.

I've upgraded my storage and RAM and it hasn't done much, is there something I'm missing?

 

General Windows browsing and boot time is much slower than my second PC, any ideas? Specs below.

 

 

Main PC

Have you checked if anything is using up lots of ram or cpu load?

Yep, temps and loads are fine

[Raphael_123]

Did you update the firmware of the SSDs?

 

 

Edit nvm that is for the EVOs

Check if your hardware are running at the correct speeds

he said he re installed windows so there should be nothing using that much power

They have a firmware update for the PRO aswell http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/minisite/SSD/us/html/support/downloads.html

 

Not sure if I should do it though http://puu.sh/d6Lzr/1892dcbd6f.png

One thing to check... are you running 64 bit  and not 32... did that to my Gf's AMD and it was night and day!

Like OfficialJsP already said, it could be a dying Hard Drive.

Check your SMART values to make sure you don't have problems on the storage side.

 

CrystalDiskInfo is perfect for that:

I'm currently dualbooting windows on both the Evo and the Pro to make sure the Pro wasn't the problem, will check the status on the pro too

How about the 6gbps Sata cables?

burn a copy of hirens http://www.hirensbootcd.org/ and boot the disk to mini xp then open victoria then check smart data by clicking get smart then check realocated sectors and current pending sectors.
