New Motherboard is Slower than Molases. I've Installed this motherboard with 16MB DDR3 1866 ram. AMD socket A+, CPU FX 6100. Entire system was supposed to be fast but now is the slowest system I have. Have not used any overclock functions for BIOS.

This is a great disappointment. Any suggestions anyone ?
 


Two observations:
One, if you are using a BIG hard drive, like 1-2 TB EXPECT it to run slow! 1-2 TB drive is VERY slow.
The operating system should be on a small fast drive. Like a 70 GB Velociraptor.
The files should ALL be on a separate LARGE drive. Do not put files on the operating system drive, let the OS run independent.
By separating the operating system and the files drive, you will get much better speed.

Second, Asus boards have a habit of being defective. Especially the EVO board.
Chances are if you are NOT using a HUGE hard drive, you have a defective chipset.
Then if this is the case, recommend Gigabyte or Intel, replace the board with something reliable.

DO NOT try to overclock the computer until everything works normally, long term.
I found that I was much happier, and had great speed, when I stopped using Asus products.
