Hi everyone,
Before I get to the problem, here is my setup:
Case - Cooler Master RC-690 460W
Mobo - Asus P5Q3 Deluxe WiFi-Ap 1600MHz
RAM - 4GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600MHz CL9
CPU - Intel Core2Duo E8500
GPU - Zotac 9800GTX+ DDR3 512MB
PSU - High Power 650W
HDD - Seagate 500GB 32MB Sata2 7200RPM
OS - Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Monitor - Philips 22'' 220XW8FB
Everything was fine till about two months ago. I had some problems with my GPU, it went to the shop, got checked, and when they told me all was fine, I decided it wasn't so I got a 1400RPM thermaltake fan, to replace my 700RPM cooler master default fan. Since that day, my PC has been lagging a lot more on startup especially (no icons for about first 10 seconds, takes about 3 minutes before I can actually fire up a program). I am trying to understand why. Here's what I tried:
- Format PC,
- Decrease programs that startup on windows startup,
- CCleaner
- Complete Virus Check & Removal
Unfortunately, nothing has changed. However, as I was looking at things today, I noticed somethings that are quite peculiar. I opened up CPU-ID and here's what I found:
My CPU Values - Though my CPU core speed is 3.16GHz, it constantly changes from 2 to 3.16GHz
My RAM values - Though my DRAM frequency on BIOS is set to 1333MHz (which I was told to set by Corsair forums when I had BSoD problems) it shows 667MHz here
Why do you think my DRAM frequency appears as 667MHz on CPUID, while it is set to 1333MHz on BIOS? And why do you think my CPU Frequency constantly changes from 2GHz to 3.16GHz? Can these be called problems that could possibly be causing my computer to lag?
How can I proceed?
Many thanks in advance...
