Windows 10: I uninstalled and reinstalled my SSD, now my computer has slowed way down after opening...

I was recently building a new computer, and took my SSD out of my old build and put it into my new build. Then, I decided I wasn't close to finishing it, so I put it back into my old build. Booted up like normal and everything was fine. I left it on, left, came back, and nothing would open and eventually Windows crashed. I restarted it and it was fine again, normal boot speeds, everything opening at normal speeds. But whenever I open up too many applications, it eventually slows way down and takes multiple minutes to open anything. I never had this problem before. If I try to download from any

slow ssd

Hi,

Slow SSD performance can be caused by several factors like Hybernation mode and Superfetch service.

As an initial troubleshooting step, try disabling Hibernate mode since it is unnecessary for the SSD system as it takes too much time to boot from it.

• Open Command Prompt (Admin).
• Enter the administrator credentials once prompted.
• In the Command Prompt window, type or copy and paste this command:
  
  powercfg -h off
• Press Enter.

Note: Once Hibernate is already disabled, you can also free up some space to improve its performance.

We also recommenddisabing Superfetch as one way to optimize the SSD performance:

• Press Windows key + R to open the Run
  dialog box.
• Type services.msc and press Enter.
• Scroll down and right-click on Superfetch.
• Select Stop.

Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.

How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

Any suggestions? *Confused
