Computer Running Slowly

[stl522013]

Sorry if this is not the right category. But my computer has been kind of slow lately. Do you guys know what I could do to fix it? I have noticed that it has been definitely slower at browsing. I have an AMD FX-8320, 8 GB of RAM, a GTX 750, and a WD Caviar Blue 7200 RPM 1 TB HDD.

Virus checks? Disk defragging?

Hi there stl522013,

You can test your drive with WD's Data Lifeguard Diagnostic tool as well(short and extended): http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=b7uWu9
In case there is something wrong with it, you need to back up the data stored on it.
Another component you can test is your RAM.
