Troubleshooting Advice Required

[Hastner]

I built my own computer a couple months ago.  I installed Win7 on it, but upgraded to the free copy of Win10.  Every now and then it will just start running very slowly.  Pages that are already open continue working just fine, but new pages and windows take ages to open and load.  Also the start menu opens very slowly.  The cursor doesn't lag.  I have run numerous full system virus scans to no avail.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be the issue?

My build is:

Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H LGA 1150

Intel i7-4790k (Base clock)

Gigabyte GTX 960 G1 Gaming 2GB

Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB DDR3

Cooler Master 212 EVO

Seagate 2TB HDD (For documents and games)

Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (For OS and frequently used programs)

 

Thank you!

are you accessing things on the hdd rather than the ssd when it slows down?

SSD

benchmark your Samsung ... I know it was the 840 that had slow down problems but recently some people started reporting slow downs with their 850!

OK i'll do that

Thanks

I have run the AS SSD benchmark tool and have included a screenshot of the results.
