Worse computer after upgrading!

I've got a little problem, my 3d mark result has become less after I upgraded my computer.

My setup was:
4200+ x2
1 gb DDR1 RAM
7800GTX 256mb
Samsung 400W Psu
Asrock 939N68PV-GLAN

I changed precessor, motherboard and RAM, because I needed optical output from the motherboard, and got the processor and RAM very cheap.
The new components:

AMD Athlon x2 6000+
Corsair 2x2 Gb 800Mhz DDR2 RAM
Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H


Anyway, my 3Dmark result before the upgrade was about 5000 (don't have specific results).

With the new components, it decreased to 4200... http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/6863/3dmarkproblems.jpg

How's that possible? I didn't expect a huge result difference, but absolutely not less than before!

I've done everything I can, checked all contacts, removed and downloaded drivers, and so on.

I formated the computer and reinstalled the same version of xp (32bit).
Nothing was overclocked before, so what i've done is just changing processor, motherboard and processor.


Some info:

AMD Dual Core optimizer installed, used the same version of 3dmark both times (3dmark06), less program installed now than before, have tried the RAMs in both red and yellow inputs,


Here's two prints frpm GPUZ:

The processor temp. is always about 38 degrease, +- 5.


Any ideas what's wrong?

you can look at the details of your benchmarks and compare cpu and gpu tests against your old score to see where the problem is.

I can't say I have very much experience to offer advice, but I'll just throw out my own idea. Maybe it's the PSU? The CPU consumes 125w, so maybe the system isn't getting enough power to run at full capacity?

Yeah, have also thought of that, will try another psu as soon as possible :)

Yeah, I would definitely look into that.

Also, this may seem like a dumb question, but you were using the same version of 3dmarks, correct?

i wonder if he got a 3400 series card and ran hybrid crossfire on it if it would be faster than that 7800 he's got now?
