I recently finished my first build. Everything booted and setup fine. I started having freezing problems and traced it down to a software issue. I installed a new version of windows 7 and seemed to clear it up. Now my issue is on my windows experience index score my CPU is only scoring a 4.8 where it scored a 7 something before. What could cause this? THanks

Athalon x4 640
Gigabyte GM-UD2H
Patriot Sector 5 10666
Thermaltake 600 watt
Sapphire 7850
 
On the WEI, what is the item with the lowest score? Did you reinstall all the correct drivers for your hardware?
 
the lowest score is currently 4.8 for my CPU. same process as before just used my motherboard disc software and drivers.
 
Under systems, What kind of procesor does it say you have? In Task Manager does it show all 4 cores? Have you ran the Re-run the Assessment in the Performance Information and Tools?
 
in task manager yes it shows all 4 cores. i have re ran the experience index numerous times even with updated drivers from gigabyte. this is kinda blowing my mind.
 
see thats exactly what i was getting on my previous install. since this is all pretty new i guess i could just blow it off and start fresh with a new windows 7.
 
so reinstalled windows tonight with some pretty surprising results. now the cpu rates 3.8 in the windows experience index score. yea its getting worse. does this sound like a junk cpu?
 
Either the cpu is dying or possibly you didn't install the chipset drivers? I'm baffled here.
 
there is a difference in the scores between the CNC on and off. Nothing as drastic as he is getting though, just a .2 difference in mine.
 
ok ill try all those things and get back to you. Ive upadated all my drivers from the gigabyte website, but yet when i go to device manager and click on my processor. it still says driver date 6/21/06.
