Did the lagging start because of malware.

Some malware are difficult to remove and also mess up windows file.
Run malware bytes, roguekiller and adwcleaner for anything left overs.
If they find something, try combofix : you can get them @ bleepingcomputers.com in the download section.

If after that it's still lagging monitor your cpu temps with coretemp.
If your temps are fine, maybe reinstalling windows would be a good idea because maybe the malware has damaged windows.

Was it sudden onset? Did you do something before it started occurring?

Searching for files/windows explorer could be a problem with the hard drive or CPU. Your CPU is still modern so I'd have to lean towards the HDD. Could you find out the model? I'm willing to guess it's 5200rpm or slower. You could try getting an SSD and reinstalling windows on that, it would make browsing your system folders much faster. Before that just delete unnecessary files. How much free space do you have?

Probably not needed but you could get another stick of 4gb. Only use the same model as your previous stick, don't mix and match with other brands or models.

I tend to have alot of browsers open at all times and folders. films/series/ webfiles as im a marketer so got alot of folders to keep tabs on and things. So guessing another stick of ram should just smooth it out. Seems alot better now ive ran those tools. i guess there was some malware that malware bytes didnt manage to catch

Hey guys one last question. My current ram installed is corsair pc3 10700h (667mhz) 2gb x 2. I cannot seem to find the exact same one anywhere.

Which other would work with these?

None, you shouldn't mix brands/models. You'd need to get a new set of ram. That ram is slow and dated so it's probably due an upgrade anyway.

No it doesn't,it only gives info about speed and timings.There must be a number on stickers which are on the sticks themselves which could give the right info but it's up to you to look.

Another way to look is the following,

the next freeware program,hwinfo32,can give system info,install it,open it,click run and close the system summary which is the top window,after that you could click in the top left corner "save report",in the next window click at the bottom "short text report" and then next,after that you get a detailed list about the hardware in your system in between which there will be more info about your ram,you could copy/paste that here if you want to.

The next two sets have the same speed and timings,

You could try one of these.In theory they shouldn't give problems,but as others have already pointed out it could give problems.



That is up to you off course.

From what i found is that your ram was made by corsair for oem's/system builders,therefore the ram has different model numbers which do not match normal corsair modelnrs.
The next two sets probably are the closest type's i could find,
2x2gb=http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-memory-cmx4gx3m2a1600c9
2x4gb=http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-memory-cmx8gx3m2a1600c9

I don't know iof you already got some ram,but i think you could try these sets next to the ram you already have got.

As you probably have noticed i chose 1600mhz ram,i did this because your ram can also run at 1600mhz according to both programs=cpu-z and hwinfo32.They normally start at the 1333mhzspeed.

There is of course the chance they don't work together but it's up to you to make a decision about that.
In the pc i'm working on right now i have two different sets of kingston ram from different production dates and they do work together,but maybe i'm just lucky.

I also used to have a PC that's lagging after months of daily use. It was a pain to open files and folders back then. My colleagues always said that it became slow because of junk files and registry stuff. I didn't know much about those things and I didn't want to spend any more money unless I figured out the real problem.

So I just started with simple and free steps like uninstalling programs I don't really use. I also disabled toolbars and addons of my browsers. I changed the settings of some programs (from Run at Startup to Don't Run at Startup). These things made the startup and performance of my PC significantly faster.

But still I noticed that there were a few times that when I open a file or folder, it took 5 seconds or more, compared when my PC was brand new, I open a folder and it instantly shows up the files. I recognized then that it's a registry problem because I installed several different applications before and used the PC for months. Tried a registry problem solver and after that the PC became as good as new when it comes to the speed of opening files and folders.

Of course before I installed and ran the registry problem solver, I first checked if it has a backup feature (this is important). This way, I won't worry much about the changes the application has about to make. I also like its features of scheduling and easy configuration.

If my PC starts to run slow again (probably after weeks or months of use), I'll first uninstall unnecessary programs and change the settings of the necessary ones (Don't Run at Startup or Turn Automatic Updates Off). I'll also run a safescan with the registry problem solver (with backups). I'll resort to these first before I would go into hardware mode.
