Games loading very slowly.

So this happens when you are connecting to an online game. It happens in both CS:GO and SFV. Sometimes it takes so long to load that it times out or the host rejects you. I thought this was due to a RAM issue, as I was only running a single stick of 8GB at the time, and the hard drive light was on constantly while it was loading. (SATA SSD) Well, I just threw in another 8GB stick in dual channel and the problem persists. Is there something wrong with my SSD? Windows seems to boot pretty quickly and whatnot. 

 

Once a map has been loaded for the first time, which takes forever, it seems like that same map will load normally after that, but it will take forever again if you change the map. 

 

What else could be causing this? What should I do?

Does your FPS drop or does it just load slowly?

 

Have you checked your task manager to see if perhaps your resources are being used else where?

Have you tested other games or just those two? 

What is your CPU and GPU?

Problem seems to be a little better now. I'm still tinkering with it. I asked around on CS:GO and another player said the same thing happened to him.
