After power outages cpu is very slow. So here is what happened before the power outage:
Bought new graphics card, installed it worked great. Than I realized that it needed more vats than my psu (at that time) had so I bought new PSU installed it, works great. Than I realized that my cpu fan wasn’t completely attached to the cpu so I went and bought new one. Left it on for a few hours was working fantastic but after several power outages within 4 hours with it turning on for a few seconds and than instantly off my cpu became slow. Any ideas? Never had it happening before but this is the first time I’m seeing this weird reaction. Now I can tell you this, cpu temperatures are fine and there is enough off cooling in the case itself.
Any thoughts or ideas are much appreciated..
Improper shutdowns (eg power outages) can affect Windows itself, especially several power cuts within an hour. Try running Windows Error Checker on the C: drive.
right-click C: drive icon and choose properties.
Click the “tools” tab.
Click “Check Now”.
Tick both tick-boxes.
Click “Start”
Restart Windows.
If that doesn’t improve performance, consider re-installing Windows (Factory Recovery).
Could be hardware or software issues. Run Memtest as well as hard drive long test. If both work OK then run a system restore to before the power outages, then make sure that you have not loaded your old graphics drive, if so, the upgrade driver again.
Please note that when a graphics card specify’s 400Watts, that is generally what they predict you will need with the average system set up with the average quality power supply. With a better quality power supply, you probably could get away with less (higher available 12Volt Amperage on a single high power rail).
