A Clean Reinstall of Win 7 Would Help if you had done this well Go and Download DriverPack Solution to check all your drivers

Hey guys! I recently upgraded my computer, since things were pretty cheap during the Black Friday sales, and I have noticed my computer is running extremely slow. At first It was insane, everything was buttery smooth, as I expected for the money I payed. After around a week things just stopped. Boot up time went from around 20 seconds to a couple minutes, Games went from 120FPS to 20-30. Even opening up Firefox is slow! I made sure my Ram and CPU were running fine, and they were, Computer also realizes there are 2 graphics cards. It feels like it started after I authenticated my windows 7, but I don't know if that is the reason.

 

Specs:

 

      Changed Hardware:

4770-K CPU

8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM

z87-A Asus Motherboard

     Hardware From Old Build:

Dual EVGA GTX 670's

TX750W Corsair PSU

500GB WD Caviar Black

Cooler Master Cosmos S - Modded like crazy ;)

 

Some help would make my day, thanks!

Not really sure but I'd at least do a virus scan or/and make sure the hard drive isn't fragmented, other than that I have no idea what to recommend.

It might just be my poor reading skills but I have to make sure, you completely formatted and did a clean install of your OS right?

 

Only other advice I could offer is to look into updating mobo BIOS, though I doubt that would fix much seeing as you got a new CPU as well.

 

As an example, if the boot up time is stuck on the BIOS start screen, check that out, if its stuck on the windows loading screen, reinstall OS and see if that makes things better. How old is your hard drive?

Well, back up your data and do a fresh install of Windows. Slap the drivers on and run it bare (i.e. the programs you need to run) for a while. If everything is working good, slowly put updates on it, and then do your programs. If you notice it slow down after a certain thing, you found your culprit.

I never did a fresh install, I just booted it up and Authenticated my non-cracked copy of Windows. Looks like I might have to wipe it...
