Super slow everything

I've got a Windows-7 PC that's running super slow. Everything - screen coming up, browsers, even just clicking on SYSTEM. I'm not sure what's going on or what to check. The system is booting off an SSD. Both C (SSD) and D (HD) are set to Active, Primary Partition (is that the way it's supposed to be?) The Performance Information Tool rates everything at 7.5 except for Primary Hard Disk transfer rate of 5.9.

It seems to be telling me the SSD or HD aren't quite right, but I'm not sure what/how to fix. Any thoughts?

Here are the specs:

Operating System
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
CPU
AMD Phenom II X6 1050T
Thuban 45nm Technology
RAM
8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 674MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard
ASUSTeK Computer INC. M4A89GTD-PRO/USB3 (AM3) 29 °C
Graphics
ASUS VH242H (1920x1080@60Hz)
NS-39E480A13 (1920x1080@60Hz)
1023MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 SE (EVGA) 41 °C
Storage
298GB Seagate ST3320620AS ATA Device (SATA) 42 °C
1863GB Seagate ST32000641AS ATA Device (SATA) 33 °C
698GB Western Digital WDC WD7500AAKS-00RBA0 ATA Device (SATA) 37 °C

Thanks for the suggestion! In task manager, CPU is around 7% and Memory is 0-2%. I ran antivirus and it turned up clean. I think it's something about the disk transfer rate. An SSD should run windows fast - and there don't seem to be any processes eating up resources.

Should two different drives be marked as Active/Primary? There's hardly anything on drive D. I'll peel this part off into another question to simplify things.
