What all programs do you have installed? I have an A8-3850 and 16G, and it's not running as fast as I thought it would be, when I bought it; but, the system is starting to slow down over time (o/s load was in July [2014]). Which automatically run at start-up?

I asked about which programs you had installed (and wondered what's running [in the background] {and/or at start-up} ), because if your RAM is getting near maxed-out, it would help to know what's maxing it out.

Since you did a major overhaul of your system did you reformat? When going from one platform to another or even a similar but slightly different chipset on the same platform you should really reformat.

At any rate, have you ran tests on your hdd using your manufacturer utilities, sounds like a logical place to start.

I would really recommend trying your hdd manufacturers tests, at the very least use HDtunes error scan and health tests.

I probably should have asked this first but does it do this in safe mode?
