Windows 7 Sluggish after fresh install Need help please

[PrimerPlus]

So I got a new HDD HGST Travelstar 7K1000 2.5-Inch 1TB 7200 RPM SATA III 32MB Cache Internal Hard Drive 0J22423

I replaced my old drive that was failing and had bad sectors, slow freezing etc.

Installed windows 7 with the HP System Recovery DVD Windows 7 Recovery Media for Windows 7.
Went through the entire process of downloading all the Microsoft Windows updates, as well as the HP assistant updates that were specific for my laptop, via their onboard hp assistant.
Also updated graphics card from the AMD website.

Now the system should be all up to date. But it just feels slow, sluggish. Typing in the browser bar I can get a few words typed before it ever shows any characters. Scrolling up and down web pages, you can see it glitchy. I remember it being very fluid before.

I play World of Warcraft and my frame rate is horrible, use to be about 50-60 now its around 10-20.
WIth that graphics update I was getting screen flickering but I discovered that was caused by Raptr which was apart of the download. I disabled that so now the screen doesn't flicker anymore.

My Microsoft rating is 4.5
Processor 6.2
Ram 7.3
Graphics 4.5
Graphics Gaming 6.1
HDD 5.9

I ran a benchmark test using Sandra Lite. I couldn't really understand its results but I can run that again, or if it saved the results somewhere I don't know.

Ran the Microsoft troubleshooter for the startup programs list, really there aren't much but I disabled a few.

I made a complete image of my HDD after I downloaded all the updates.

Could really use some help. If you need anything specific, just let me know I am happy to provide, I want my computer to be at optimal performance.
Also I run in 1600x 900

for the typing check mouse repeat rate in the pad settings and why you did not use the hp driver for your gpu since this is a laptop ,i see that your ie is out of date win 7 now use the ie 11 also the flash and net framework with the adobe reader use this to detect and update the oudated software that could be at risk http/secunia.com/products/consumer/psi/sys_req/

Ran that software you linked, found a few updates. I uninstalled the Update I got for my Graphics card from AMD website and installed the driver from HP website, which is like 3 years old. But there is nothing newer on the site for it.

[scout_03]

did you also install the intel video driver since if you have the switchable gpu system you will need both of them . http/h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4186302#N551

 

[PrimerPlus]

Not sure what driver you are referring to. Is it in the Driver-graphics ?

 

[scout_03]

yes the intel one under graphic on the link .

 

[PrimerPlus]

Well I downloaded the driver, and when it starts to install it says, "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software."

 

[scout_03]

this tell us that you only have the amd gpu on the system and i look around the have the 14.4 driver for the mobility you may try them .

 

[PrimerPlus]

Updated to the 14.4 catalyst control center.. My radeon display driver now shows radeon hd 5000 series, driver 14.100.0.0
Nothing has changed still feels slow.
Is there any program I can install or use that will tell me what would be causing my issues, or what is out of date or what is not performing how it should?

Maybe there is something I can do with the catalyst control center, it has a lot of options but I have not messed with them, there is options to use presets, is there a collection of these presets?

I do appreciate the help, just want my computer back to normal.

 

[scout_03]

we will try something since the sytem have 3 gig of memory there must be a 1 gig and a 2 gig sodim module so remove one and test the system speed then do the same with the other module .
