Q: OS X is not smooth and very offten loading

Hi,

 

I have iMac late 2012 (CPU i5 2,7 GHz, RAM 8GB, HDD 1TB 5400) and OS X El Capitan. For all the time I did not do a clean install of system.

 

In last months I have problem with smoothness of system. System very offten (every 1-10 minutes) loading. In "loading mode" are:

  • mouse cursor is rolling
  • music from iTunes stop play for a while
  • video in VLC stop play for a while
  • I can do nothing at this time

 

Please, where could be a problem? I think that one of these things:

  • SW problem in OS X - solution maybe will be clean install of OS X
  • HW problem - HDD or RAM

 

Is it some way to find it (some good diagnostic tools or etc.)?

 

Thank you.

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
