Windows 7 System Interrupts

My system has been running slow for the last 6 mos. Had some BSODs that stopped when I replaced the RAM. I have cleaned up unnecessary start ups. I run CCleaner it regularly. Run MBAM. Still slow. I ran the Performance Testing in Windows 7 and it states that:

"High average interrupts / processor. This machine has 4 processors and 4 network cards. Total Interrupts/sec on the machine is 122133. The average interrupts per processor per sec is 30533."

That sounds like something that could slow it down. Programs are slow to open, copying or deleting large files is very slow. My 256GB SSD is 75% full (which I read should be OK). Data is on a separate HDD.

Any pointers? Thanks, Larry

 

Hi Tony,
Thanks! Network Sharing only shows one adapter ("Network 8) that was surprisingly set as a Public Computer. I changed that to Home Computer. Device Mgr only shows one Network Adapter "Realtek PCle GbE Family Controller". Are there differing definitions of "Network Adapter" at play here, esp with the Performance Test indicating four of them?

So, apparently, WU is known for installing inappropriate drivers? Wrong spec? Outdated? Will this require that I manually go through each hardware driver and ID'ing the current one (hope not)?

Lastly, am I right that these interrupts could be the cause of the sluggishness?? Or it is just an indicator of issues to be resolved?

 

See the Performance Testing image way below.

I want to try to present this clearly but there are some conflicting settings in the BIOS. I have a Gigabyte GA-Z87-DS3H mobo with the UEFI DualBIOS.

I have both a PNY GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST card in the PCIex16 slot and the onboard Intel HD Graphics 4600. I updated my GeForce driver to current without the GeForce Experience bloatware (as before). I have disabled the onboard graphics in Device Mgr but my BIOS says:
1. Under Initial Display Output that the PCIe 1 is Enabled and the other choices are IGFX, PCIe 2 and PCI (but no x16 choice). So, I am not sure know what is powering the graphics in POST. Does the BIOS refer the x16 slot in the PCIe1 selection?
2. The Intel Processor Graphics is Enabled.

So,
1. Do I just leave the Initial Display Output alone or change it to the IGFX?
2. Disable the Intel Processor Graphics setting?
3. The image that I attached is apparently generated by Windows Experience and now that I have updated the GeForce driver, WEI no longer works! My previous ratings were also erased. Now, it gets to around 99% and then states "Could not measure storage performance. Error: Failed to properly access the disk. Parameter is incorrect." It reminds me of plumbing work. I ran SFC, all ok there.
