Several issues with newly built computer.

[ingeborgdot]

I have built many computers but am having a little bit of a problem with some things and my new one. My new install went great. All programs installed without a hitch. Fast and furious is the way it went to get everything installed. Now, after a week or so I have started having a couple glitches. When I go to install a new program or update it the program just sits there for 4 or 5 minutes before doing anything and then finally starts to do its thing. What could be causing this.
The other issue is that I am trying to do a backup and image clone to get my new system backed up. The problem there is that the windows backup won't see my hard drives. I then tried Norton Ghost and the same thing happened. What is causing this? Thanks.

using latest intel rst drivers? could be bios bug with that board and the xeon cpu? what speed/dram voltage are u running your ram at?

Everything had been running perfectly. I did add a sound card, and video card after the fact too I guess. 7870 XFX Black Edition and a HT Omega Claro sound card.
As for the memory, I have Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) which the board saw as 1333 so I upped it to 1600. Could that cause a problem? The board and cpu are on ASRocks site as compatible.

it could if it needs more voltage for 1600mhz,id guess at 1.55v dram and 1.08-1.1v cpu/vtt(memory controller)

So, what do you suggest?

whats the ram rated at? post a screenshot of cpu-z spd tab,



it should list all the supported ram speeds/timings/voltages and should list x.m.p profiles,with 16gb you might need 1.6v+ dram voltage,im only guessing that its ram it could be driver issue with soundcard or gpu idk yet,but seems strange for a 5min delay before it does anything

Remove one at a time and see if it changes anything.

I just installed a java that I needed and it didn't even show it was installing and then bam it said it was done almost 10 minutes later.
