Hi everyone.
I have a system with Windows 10 Pro that used to run far better than it currently does. I tried wiping everything out and a clean install but it's still slower than it used to be.
I'm not sure if maybe clearing out dust will help or perhaps a new case fan or cpu cooler but nonetheless I'd like to post my specs, list what kinds of things drive me nuts and hopefully you can advise on what will help speed things up a bit.
My biggest peeves are when opening a browser takes 15 seconds. I can understand it taking a while to open Photoshop but Chrome?! I also hate when a file is being moved and it takes a couple seconds for the file's icon to change from blank to its true display. I hate when you go to move or close out a window and it hangs for 30 seconds, etc.
What the heck are the most important components or combination or components to improve upon in order to resolve these issues?
Here's the link to my specs. Mind you I just upgraded the PSU yesterday so the listed one doesn't apply anymore.
In general I just wish it were a bit more "snappy" with less lag, freezing and such. I'm not looking for it to run NASA or anything. It's just too tortoise-like now when it didn't used to be.
Thanks for your time and patience.
