Ok so a while ago my mother board died on my PC. I bought a computer off a friend to salvage parts and i mixed and matched the best parts between our computers to make a new computer.
Anyway it's running way slower than it should and I can't think of why.
What I've done:
-reinstalled the drivers for the mobo(probably at least 5x now). I tried the ones from MSI's website and then I downloaded the ones from nVidias website for the chipset. I tried them both seperately and it didn't work
-using CPUz i noticed the RAM timings are different than what is stated on the sticks. It was 5-5-5-15 and the sticks call for 4-4-4-12.
I have a feeling it's a setting in the BIOS giving me problems because i had to clear the CMOS when i first booted up the machine as it wouldn't recognize the USB mouse and keyboard.
What else could it be???? Here are screen shots which might give you guys a few clues.
