For one, you have yourself really limited in system RAM as part of that 8GB is being used for Video RAM .. if the 120GB SSD is your only drive, then you are going to have extra I/O activity to that small SSD with system writing data to the drive when it runs out of system RAM and has to use the Pagefile...

Check for a BIOS update, that might help. Running at least 16GB of RAM might help .. getting a secondary drive and putting the Pagefile and "My Documents/Videos/Pictures on it might help.

Make sure your APU and Chipset drivers are up to date .. that might help
