Windows 7, 32 bit, delays often, 'not responding' often

hi,
ive my own windows 7 32 bit system, 4gb ram, etc.
im starting to get alot of delays, alot of pauses and waiting for 10 seconds or so when changing tabs in chrome or scrolling thru mail in outlook, opening excel files, etc...
i recently, scanned for malware, virus', did the memory ram check, chkdsk /f/r overnight, defragged, etc..
ive alot of hdd 1Tb for the root drive, with alot of space free.
what can i check next, what can i do...
my next step my be to reinstall windows fresh on a new solid state 240gb drive i have here, maybe even upgrade the ram to 8gb...
is there any logs i can check or upload to the experts, to see if theres anything i can do before freshy install.
thanks experts.

ive attached a copy of the system specs, cpu, board, ram, etc... maybe its an older board? althought this is lasty years model...?
