okay, ive been on here several times now and my computer still loads programs slow. its seems like to me that it just has a hard time loading stuff. I've defragged the hdd, which btw im not doing again because it took 1week and 2 days, I've also virus scanned. my HDD wasn't fragmented and I had no virus's. Is it in need of new ram, or a new HDD, its got a new motherboard if that helps. im just plain lost. anything except for someone saying "upgrade compents" will help, thanks!

Windows 8 or older? 

On seven and below, open the Run windows, and type 

msconfig

go over to startup and remove unnecessary crap., That'll help for startup time. 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it.

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

We'll I have BF4 and nothing else large on my comp (chrome, origin ETC) so whenever I have an issue I just plug in the drive via USB and reinstall. Takes like 10 min after reinstall to get everything back to normal. Then the BF4 download.

Open cmd, run as admin, type /sfc scannow and it should repair your Windows files, if you have any that are missing or corrupted.

Then you must have good download speed. I take a whole night only to download 10 gb.

I have around 30 mb/s. The BF4 download takes about 3 hours. The computer is normal in ten minutes besides BF4.

Origin downloads at 3mb/s for some reason. Goes to 500kb/s when I watch YouTube at the same time. Ethernet.

I was in the same boat a couple of hours ago and then realised my computer had made its way into power saving mode somehow.... turned that off and it was back to norm fps and speed etc.  .o/

How full is your hdd? It sounds way too slow. Have you scanned it with Malwarebytes?

Steam downloads around 800kb/s. I wished i could use ethernet but cable would be very long so i have to use a pci wifi card.
