OMG SO SLOW :* (

Just wondering what could cause dramatic slow down of a comp.

I built my system about a year ago and it was fast for a few months but slowed down dramatically after. I think I might have reinstalled windows before it slowed and I'm sure I have since then (xp then 7) but it still remains slow (plays all games at low fps, programs load slowly etc.) I don't really understand benchmarks and performance stuff, I just know its slow, heh.

Anyways, just wondering if it could be a hardware problem or maybe I forgot to install a driver.

Here's a copy and paste of my hardware using pc wizard:

Any help would be appreciated :7)

Defrag your HDs

Could be a virus or a rootkit so do a thorough scan with one. Check your computer's temperature in the BIOS screen, you may need to do a little dusting. Could be a virus or a rootkit. It's hard to know what's sucking up all the CPU - maybe run some basic scandisk programs off a recovery disk. But start off with a scan and a ccleaner spring clean.

>Seagate Drive
Oh man steer away from Seagate. I know it's affordable, but a few extra bucks will buy you a much superior and reliable drive. I also had a seagate drive that lasted literally 12 months. You can fix bad sectors temporarily but get your prons off that drive right away.

There's your problem, if you want a fast computer delete windows, install a Linux distro and if that's not working try a light Linux distro. Good Luck!

Ignore >>9 - you'll need windows for games I'm afraid. Instal CCleaner and Soluto and check there's nothing clogging up your system. They're both free.
