Hey guys, I'm hoping one of you can help me out. I recently did a build and put windows 8.1 on it. It ran beautifully for the first 5 months but recently it has been taking super long to boot. I would say about 5-10 mins long before I can actually open programs. After that time then it will run great an fast as usual but then randomly it will hit a wall and I have to wait another 5-10 mins for it to gather itself.
What I have done so far:
Drivers are all up-to-date
Defrag HD weekly
Malware removed and Virus free
Disk clean up ran
Cache Cleaned
Disabled most start up programs
Recycle bin emptied.
All the very basic things done. My RAM is all being recognized and nothing seems weird on the hardware side but I'm by no means an expert on hardware issues. Any help would be wonderful!
