Hi. I recently put in a GTX 960 in my PC and it slowed down my computer alot. Nearly everything takes a while to load there's alot of lag. Games can run OK but the menu screens are super laggy. I have Geforce experience installed and I'm pretty sure I have the right driver.

WIndows 10
i5-750
4gb RAM
Gigabyte GTX 960 4GB

I'm not sure what my harddrive is but it's almost completely full up it's 500 gb.

Please help me speed up my computer.

This might be a disk usage problem, go in your task manager (Ctrl+Shift+Escape) and see if the disk usage is at 100%. It is a problem with Windows 10 where unnecessary windows tasks will be on and suck up your disk usage. If it is, you can disable some of these tasks such as Superfetch and Windows search. They can be disabled by opening up a run dialog (Holding down Windows Key + R). Entering "services.msc". Looking for "Windows Search" and "Superfetch". Right clicking on them and selecting "Properties." then "Startup type," and choosing disabled. After leaving that window, make sure you press "Stop" in the upper left corner. If that doesnt work, you can always look at more methods to reduce disk usage on your computer.
