Check Memory utilization
In the system had 4GB RAM then we suggest you upgrade the RAM, most often the system came with 4 GB RAM but the 4 GB RAM encounters the system performance if you notice memory utilization of more than 60%-70% It is the best idea to extend the RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB RAM at least for better performance on your computer.
