SSD/HDD Problems, Any Fix? Slow down problem

[motomoto11]

I can't seem to solve the problem, so i'll just ask you all and see what I get from this. Lately when I start my computer it will turn on, go though POST, start up windows, and when it gets to the desktop, it looks as if it gets stuck on some applications. I know it gets stuck because it takes a minute for it to load up everything else (display fusion, skype, etc.) It also gets stuck on finding a network, and after awhile everything will load up rather fast all together. I ran a few tests on my SSD and HDD speeds, and i'm not sure if the SSD performance is just a bit weak in spots because it is close to 2 years old. The one hard drive that the other applications are on, seems to be working ok. It's about 3 years old. (SSD/HDD Below)

 

 

Benchmarking tool: AS SSD Benchmark 

 

 

SSD: Samsung 840 Pro Series 128gb ((ORIGINAL Speeds Seq: Read:530MBps Write: 390MBps)) ((As of today Read: 496.44 MBps Write: 175.66 MBps))

 

HDD1: 2.5" WD Scorpio Black 750GB 7200RPM ((ORIGINAL Speeds: Can't find original speed for it) ((As of today Seq Read: 109.52 MBps Write: 110.11 MBps

 

HDD2: 3.5" Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB 7200 RPM ((ORIGINAL Speeds: Website says Read/write 156MB/s) ((As of today: Read: 121.89MBps Write: 98.13MBps))

 

Most of my programs that I believe are loading at the time of the freeze is all on the WD drive (HDD1). The SSD is a bit slower then the original speeds, but I was told that is normal after awhile. I have done disk cleaner, and disk defragmentation on both drives, not the SSD.  If it's a program thing, I guess I could uninstall the programs and see if it fixes the problem. I just want to know if anyone has any tips. 

 

EDIT: Samsung Magician told me that my read and write speeds are better then what AS SSD told me. SSD: Read: 532mbps Write: 316mbps

Could very likely be the cause. I just posted a topic about it.

 

Run a cmd prompt as admin and execute this command. Might find it runs heaps better

 

defrag /o /u /v C:

I should of mentioned I run Windows 7. I see the link talked about TRIM. I ran the Samsung Magician software again and did the Performance Optimization. I ran another benchmark test and the scores were better than before. I'll see how it works out next restart.

I fixed it. I shut down both hard drives and let the SSD just boot up, and found out the problem was on the SSD. So I just uninstalled most of the programs on that SSD, and it works like new again. Not sure what caused it, but I want to say it Nvidia GeForce Experience. The program started to give me network connection issues awhile ago, should of payed more attention to that.
