A little help please-motherboard and lag/load time issues
Okay, so a bit of a run down:
About a month or so ago, I posted on here about an issue with my computer failing to boot up and between you guys and DFI, realized the mobo was faulty. I sent it back and have since put my computer back together with the repaired mobo. The issue was presumably with the BIOS chip and the particular problem it created is fixed, but not without bringing around a few more.
Now whenever I turn it on, it takes between 30 seconds and a minute to boot up and jumps from screen to screen in a somewhat bizarre fashion. It will show the little vista loading bar then jump to black and then back to the bar and so on. Games also don't seem to be running smoothly anymore. Crysis started jumping around even after lowering the graphics settings to more than doable and even Bioshock is experiencing sudden "lag" or whatever. Load times of games has increased drastically too.
I really have no idea what to even do next. I've tried to search things, but have come up with nothing. If any of you guys can shed some light on this, I would really appreciate it. I built this thing three months ago and have barely even been able to use it properly. Thanks!!!
If this helps:
DFI Lan party x48 Dark
Intel Q6600
Radeon 4870
4 gigs G Skill ram
750 watt corsair PSU
640 gb Western Digital HDD
