Hi I would like to start off by giving an overview of this situation. This all began when I updated my GPU drivers, and ran a disk defrag after I restarted my computer. When I got back into my computer everything was normal nothing seem's "laggy." Then I proceed to play another game called Maplestory , my computer was doing fine. Then I got horrible FPS lag, could not move that much. I then called it quits on maplestory and thought my computer just couldn't handle it. I exit the game and it still felt weird. It took over 15 seconds to load google chrome, and nothing was running. I then checked task manager and I had cpu spikes, while doing nothing. I then thought it was due to me installing new drivers and running that defrag.

Heres my resource monitior, I tried to run error-checking and it said it was in use.

Solution
Did you reboot after the issues? Unless you were running the defrag while playing games, your system should run OK although your CPU and video card are a bit on the slow side.
