I upgraded my CPU from Intel Celeron E3500 to Intel Core 2 Duo E8400.

I ran Passmark and got CPU mark 2214 which is better then my previus 1856. Everything runs faster except my boot time is bigger. It takes longer for my PC to become usable, if i click windows explorer right after boot it will take 15 seconds to finish opening. It used to take like 7 seconds.

The suggestion from the previous user is a good one -- check your BIOS first.

If you don't find anything (bus and CPU multiplier are OK), I just went through this on a workstation after upgrading CPUs. My solution was to download the Ghostbusters utility from https://ghostbuster.codeplex.com/ .

Read the documentation before you use it.

It displays the drivers that are no longer used in your system, and offers you the ability to remove them. I cleaned the old drivers out of my system, and also used CCLeaner to remove old registry entries. It gave me a nice speed bump.

Cheers,

You're very welcome. Best of luck!

In comparing the features of the two CPUs, I notice that the Core2 8400 supports two features your Celeron does not, trusted computing and SSE 4.1. Blowing the old CPU driver out should force the OS to recognize these new features. That might be your problem (this is only a guess.)

Alternately, you might disable Intel TXT or Vt-x in the BIOS and see if that changes anything.

I managed to remove drivers another way, but the problem persists. I also noticed that when i boot my PC the processor is were unused. Windows are wery slow to respond yet cpu usage at 3%.

Seems like the problem fixed itself this morning. When i pressed the power button it didn't go to mi usual dual boot screen. It went straight to some screen that looked similar like a fullscreen cmd. With a loot of the lines having "CPU" in them. PC normal now.
