    Get rid of defragler, get rid of avg.

    Run windows disk defragmenter until windows is 0% fragmented.

    Run system file checker.

    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    84% memory is high, find out what`s using it all up.

    Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes, both free.

    Any running process will use memory, whether it`s in the background or not, gadgets etc.

    How many programs do you have running at startup ?

    start>run type in msconfig go to startup tab
