I posted here not too long ago for help installing an i7 3770 processor. Now that I have it installed, my PC is slower than it was before my upgrade from an i5 2300.
The computer takes a long time to boot. Specifically on the windows start screens after the bios splash screen. Once windows is fully loaded and on the desktop, it takes longer than normal to open basic programs such as google chrome and even control panel.
If I go to Youtube or try to play a game or even sometimes for no apparent reason, my screen will go black and my graphics driver will crash then recover. Sometimes this will make my cursor disappear which is quite irritating.
Everything was fine before I updated the bios and switched the CPU.
I've tried re-seating the CPU, Reinstalling windows, and clearing the CMOS. No luck. Task manager shows that all of my cores are running.
After searching all over the internet for a solution, I am thoroughly stumped.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
