AMD A-series prossesor problem?

jr81rox · Jan 3, 2014

Windows 7

Hardware:

500 gb hardrive
AMD radeon HD 7950 graphics card
AMD A-series black edition A10 6800k (4.1 ghz base, 4.4 turbo)
8 gb of ram
AMD asus A55M-E motherboard

I recently bought a new processor and motherboard and when I started the computer up, it wouldn't load windows. So I re-installed windows after many attempts to fix my computer. I had a 3.0 processor before, so this 4.1 should have speed my computer up a fair amount. however my computer is slower and when I move windows around on my desktop there's a lag trail following it, allows pages freezes for a couple seconds if there are to many things running. this never happened with me old hardware(3.0 processor and different motherboard). I have update all drivers, ran programs to delete junk files, deleted my windows.old files, ran virus scans to check for viruses and found none. I have tried everything and still my computer lags and is slow. However, all games run fine. Its only when im moving things on the desktop or on the internet. I'm think it's either because of the new CPU or I didnt install all the drivers I was supposed to after I re-installed windows 7, or I am missing programs that I should have installed like Java or Directx

I have had problems for a month now and I finally decided I cant this on my own, Thanks everyone.

first of dont go by ghz when upgrading a processor as i dont know what you had before but that processor will bottleneck your 7950.

next did you delete the old partition on the harddrive before you installed the new os or reformatted that partion first as you may have a old os still on the hd hogging up your hd space

I did delete all files off my computer saying windows.old, being the old os however I am not sure if that will actually delete the entire os. I'm not sure what a partition is or how to delete it or reformat it

I'd prefer not to wipe my HD because I do have games and other valuables I would not like to lose. Also, my new processor did say it was compatible with the 7950. Just for further information.

compatible yes but the 7950 is a high gaming card and the a series are more for entertainment video watching and browsing. and low budget gaming. fx series are more for that sort of card.

If games are from steam back them up on a external drive

3d benchmark physics is double with fx

that would require returning the motherboard as well

if you can afford it

go for fx 8320 or fx 6300
and a 970 series motherboard

you can pm me if you can afford this and it all depends if the retailer will take the cpu back and board
