slow computer

[shazbot777]

Guys i need help.

yesterday i upgraded my pc's motherboard and Cpu.

i have an m5a97 evo r2.0 and a fx 6300.

after installing all the components i booted up and my ssd didn't show in bios. only my hard drive. i disconnected the ssd and reconnected it however i think it broke before i installed the new components as my computer crashed saying windows encountered a problem. and then froze once i rebooted my computer.

now i am running windows 7 instead of 8 on my hard drive. i had to convert it to gpt instead of 'efi' using command prompt.

now my computer is running quite slow. im not sure if its all the updates as each of the reboots is installing new updates or if its something else.

 

I would like to know what problem it could be. And any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure I understand your problem very well, but did you reinstall windows and install the proper drivers when you changed your motherboard?

I think he means his ssd is no longer detectet thats his problem. Did you update your bios to the latest version?

Also you must check if in the bios your "SATA Mode Selection" is on "AHCI" if not it can't be detectet.

SSDs will get detected in either IDE or RAID mode as well, they will just run slower if the controller is set to IDE mode.

That makes two of us :s

I don't know if he fried his SSD with static and when he did converting on his partitions he caused a ton of fragmentation on his hard disk or what.

sorry about the explanation.

well after updating my computer my pc wouldn't detect my ssd.(found out my mobo is in AHCI mode but my ssd broke)

i had to wipe my hard drive it was in a different format than what's compatible with the os. (fixed it)

and i was experiencing was crashing and slow windows 7. found out that i did the asus auto overclock and it was unstable. so now i need to overclock myself for the first ever time.

sorry about the bad question :P

i was panicking after upgrading my computer and finding lots of problems .
