hi
I built this computer couple months ago and since then the computer has been running kind of sluggish. I think it might be my memory running slow maybe due to incompatibility with the motherboard? I'm not really sure but I don't think the memory is running at its potential and causing the computer to slow down. I have tried re-installing windows twice but it didnt help either.

Boot-up time is also slow compared to my friend's computer which was just a dual-core, which i built a month using a different model gigabyte motherboard. The boot-screen stays on screen forever and then sometimes gets frozen if i restart the computer and have to turn it off and turn it back on.

Motherboard:
GIGABYTE GA-790XTA-UD4

Memory:
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB

When I run CPU-Z It shows

Your links are bad. Please fix the links or give us the model number of the G.Skill RAM kit.

Speaking of which, please list all of the parts in your build, including which OS you're using?

If you haven't done so yet, download and run Memtest86+ on each stick of RAM for at least six hours, ideally 12. Instructions on what to do are available in the troubleshooting sticky.
 
According to your CPU-Z output, your RAM is running just fine. In fact, it's at its full potential. The slow BIOs bootup is related to either a defective hard drive, defective device, or just a defective motherboard.
