I've been noticing recently that after closing some games, my computer will become sluggish. As I'm typing this, there is a one second or so delay, Youtube vids will run choppily, ect. The strange thing is that this happens AFTER I close the game, not during and it seems to come and go slightly over time. I can watch youtube vids smoothly and tab out during game play with no issues. It's only after the game is closed that the issue presents itself.
A reboot clears the issue up so I thought it might be a memory issue, but my system is only using about 5-10% CPU and around 30% of my physical memory My next thought was some form of page file issue, but the drive my OS is on has over 20 gigs free on it. My primary drive is an SSD but most of my games are on and HDD so I'm not sure if defragging the HDD would help. My understanding it that one does not normally defrag an SSD. Just not sure how to proceed, any help would be greatly appreciated.
System info:
CPU: i5-4670K
Ram 16GB
OS: Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Primary drive 120GB SSD
Secondary drive 230GB SSD
Tirtiary drive 2TB HDD (Main gaming drive)
