system running slow after changing motherboard
I just switched to a new motherboard, its an ASRock H97M-ITX/ac. Before I turned off my pc with the old motherboard I uninstalled some devices like the IDE controllers, network adapters, and sound. Then I installed the new motherboard, turned on the pc and noticed right away it was very slow but after a few restarts and installing the new motherboard's drivers it was somewhat faster but I could tell that it still wasnt right. I ran a benchmark on my ssd and got what I think is a really bad result:
Sequential Read (Q= 32,T= 1) : 19.763 MB/s
Sequential Write (Q= 32,T= 1) : 12.059 MB/s
Random Read 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 6.253 MB/s [ 1526.6 IOPS]
Random Write 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 5.544 MB/s [ 1353.5 IOPS]
Sequential Read (T= 1) : 17.194 MB/s
Sequential Write (T= 1) : 11.953 MB/s
Random Read 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 2.197 MB/s [ 536.4 IOPS]
Random Write 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 3.296 MB/s [ 804.7 IOPS]
I'm pretty sure this is terrible for a SSD. So I guess I did something wrong. Any idea whats wrong and how I can fix it? I'm prepared to reinstall Windows, but thought I'd check in here first because it would save some time if I could just fix my current Windows installation. Obviously a clean install would be best but the time involved in getting everything set up again! argh!
