My System Specs

Default Doesn't Seem To Be Too Responsive As Before
So I just put together my Core i5-3570K build, upgrading only the RAM, PC, and motherboard. Of course it was a clean install with more or less the same programs and configurations. However I can't for the life of me figure out why my computer seems to be less responsive compared to when I was running an AMD Phenom II. Opening up Windows Explorer for example actually takes like 3s whereas before, even on a HDD, it opens up pretty quickly. A lot of other programs have similar behaviour as well.

I already defragged the hard drive, ran CCleaner, and installed all of my programs and OS on the SSD. I followed the SSD Sticky guide as well as usual....

A 3s Windows Explorer load-time on an SSD means something definitely ain't right.

Nope. Yea Core i5 3570K + SSD = literally no boot up times, but man oh man something is wrong. Do I need to do another clean install?

Opening up NVIDIA Control Panel takes a good 5s. Same for FireFox, Skype, MSN, etc...

Run trim on your ssd.
How'd you reintall your OS? Did you delete everything from the CD?
There's actually a specific way on how to reintall the OS on a SSD.

Here, this should explain if you did quick format from he cd.
how to reinstall os to ssd?

If not then, i don't know.

Goodluck.
