    Why is my PC so slow? Specs included.

    My PC has been super slow all the time lately. I use it mainly for gaming but it’s just slow in every possible way. When I start up my PC it takes 5-10 minutes to fully boot up. When I’m in any game and I alt + tab to load up chrome/task manager/anything, it takes anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute or so to actually load what I want. I just recently bought a NVIDIA 1080 and it increased my frames but the PC is just way to slow. Also, whenever it’s running slowly and I’m able to get task manager open my disk usage is at 100%, is that the issue? I’ve disabled a bunch of start up programs which helped a little and have the latest graphics card drivers installed.

    Specs attached.

    Any responses are greatly appreciated, cheers.
