Since about a week or so I found out that all of my programs tend to take about half a minute to start, even My Computer. A friend of mine said that I have too much stuff on my Registry but since I haven't installed that many programs and I use RegFix once a month. I also ran a scan for viruses with avast and it found nothing. The funny thing is that after everything starts up, it runs absolutely normally with the exception of Flash. When I start up Chrome and I launch a video on Youtube, sometimes there is no audio and when I click the volume icon it loads then immediately freezes and after 30 seconds it's working again. These slowdowns annoy me very much. I don't want to wait a minute for Chrome to open so that I can search something on Google. Heck, my phone opens Google faster.
Is there anything I can do to fix this besides installing Windows 7 again (the last installation was 1 month ago)?
My laptop:
Model: Lenovo Ideapad Y580
Processor: quad-core Intel Core i7 3610QM @2.30Ghz (3.3 Ghz with TurboBoost)
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 660M and Intel HD Graphics 4000
RAM: 8GB DDR3 @ 1600 Mhz
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
