Jordy Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I need some help with my PC, I built it about 3 years ago some parts from previous pc's that i've owned (all aftermarket parts i.e. power supply, gpu, mobo and processor) yesterday my hard drive failed and my ssd refused to load windows so I reinstalled windows 10 on the ssd since the hard drive failed (was a 1tb harddrive) and now I can't load osbuddy without it hitting a huge cpu spike and freezing my whole pc. I have 8 gb of ram, amd fx 6300 six core at 3.5 ghz, 120gb ssd only atm and the ram is ddr3 rated for the mobo which is a gigabyte mobo.

YoHoJo Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hard to diagnose from the info given. Do any other programs cause a CPU spike like that? My only suggestion would be to reformat and start fresh again. Maybe check out your BIOS settings, make sure everything is default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure that during the install you reformat the whole drive. After the install, install google chrome and do some light internet browsing. Check to see if it gives you CPU spikes. If not, install java and OSbot and check again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Try a clean format & reinstall Download Ccleaner & delete old windows installations Download driver updates for your pc See if it fixes it. Try reseating your RAM for extra measures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your SSD will not have a change in your CPU usage. I have a feeling you never installed the chipset for your CPU. There are many problems that can occur with a clean install of windows without knowing what you're fully doing. Have you gone to the downloads page for your, motherboard, cpu and graphics card? If your chipset isn't installed, it won't be as optimized and will not perform well or may not work at all (happens sometimes). If you installed an outdated chipset or an incompatible chipset, it could be a contributing factor. However, most chipset installers detect your CPU and make sure it's the right one before proceeding. I don't think you know how computers fully work. SSD's and harddrives are connected through a single port from the Power supply and motherboard. If you have an SSD which uses M.2 slots, it will be 10x faster than the regular PCIE connector. If your SSD boots, then it is running fine. You can check to see if the speed is slow by checking the speeds of your ssd. Normally, you should change the hard-drive settings in your BIOS to HCI mode or RAID mode (not recommended for RAID). If it isn't in AHCI mode, it'll be a little bit slower than the preferred speed. Also, make sure trim is enabled for your SSD because an SSD is meant to have TRIM on! TRIM is basically a shredder. Everything you delete from the recycle bin, will be deleted from the SSD for GOOD which will make it impossible to recover and instantly free up space. Harddrives do not delete the files, they delete the pointers that points to the file, it then gets overwritten when the harddrive needs to use that space for something else. Check if it is on with this command fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify If it is on 0, then you're good. Else, make it 0. DisableDeleteNotify = 1 = TRIM support disabled DisableDeleteNotify = 0 = TRIM support enabled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
