PC slow at loading everything with low cpu and ram usage

Well it takes ages to load the windows start menu and it takes ages for alot of things I am running a I5-2320 at 3.00 to 3.30 and 4gb ddr3 ram i dont know the speed but it runs tf with high textures and models everything else on the lowest with 60+fps

Are you using an SSD or HDD?

is disk% high? Im guessing you're using a laptop? you could swap out the hard drive in there with an ssd if you really wanted to save it. That wouldn't be too worth it and I'd just get something new. If it is a desktop, you could still switch to an ssd, but youd also be able to get 8gb of ram. Another upgrade would be upgrading cpu, but you would need to upgrade motherboard as well. If you wanted to go that route and need the computing power, i'd suggest starting from scratch.

 

in summary, your stuff is old and needs upgrading.
