After installing the new components and installing windows everything was running fine but i notice when booting up the window loading bars take forever until it gets to the desktop...about 20-30 bars ...everytime I turn the computer on. Even when I play a game the loading time for each map is taking 15-20 times longer to load compared to my older setup. Is there anything wrong with my new setup, could it be the hard drive?

If you are using your old memory, maybe its the memory thats causing problems. It might be running at a different speed from your new motherboard? Thats the only thing that comes to my mind in this case.

When you boot up does it say the correct processor? Are you sure your memory is running at 200mhz? Download CPUID and post a screenshot.

I think that the ram in my older setup was running at 166MHz but now in the new setup its at 200Mhz.Could that be the problem?
