How to Fix ASUS PRIME Z790-P Motherboard Crashes and Slowdowns

소개

This PC has an ASUS PRIME Z790-P motherboard. It is currently experiencing slowdowns and crashes when performing non-demanding tasks. When investigating the internal components of the PC, it has a single RAM stick and an almost full SSD. So, to fix this problem, we will add a new SSD and new RAM sticks to allow for more storage space and better speeds.

Before you begin this repair, turn off your PC fully and disconnect all peripherals from the device. Hold the power button one more time for 15 seconds to discharge all electricity. Then, place the PC on its side and remove the glass panel to begin this repair.

****Note:*** This repair begins after the PC has been opened to access the internals. Follow the instructions for opening your PC tower before you begin.

Remove the Singular RAM stick that is slotted in.
The older RAM Stick is the same as the two being added in, so to avoid wasting technology that still works, we will add it back in with the two new RAM sticks.
Running three RAM sticks can slow your device instead of assisting it. We are doing it because the ASUS PRIME Z790-P motherboard manual allows it.

Now, we will use our tools to insert the new SSD into the available slot. The tools we need are the magnetic screwdriver, one M2 mounting screw, and one M2 screw.
There are empty slots, as circled in the second photo; place an M2 mounting screw into the slot.
After that, place the SSD into its slot and align the head to the mounting screw. Properly screw the SSD into place.

Reseal the PC with the glass and place the PC upright once more.
Turn on the PC once more. If your PC boots into Windows, then this was a success! If the PC does not boot into Windows, then go back to step 3 and check your RAM sticks.

Since we added a new SSD, we must go to Device Manager to initialize the device. Search for Device Manager on your PC and open the application.
After arriving at Device Manager, you will see an unallocated disk. Name the disk to initialize it; in this instance, SSD (P:) is our new disk.
