I can't seem to figure out what is going wrong with my computer and why it is behaving so slowly. This has gone on long enough! (Ever since I bought it) Upgrading it hasn't helped any to. The only part left to upgrade is the HD
Things are very very slow to respond. I keep getting this "Not Responding" window and the spinning blue icon. If I click the window it turns white and will never work after that. If I wait and let it sit then it will work. I have scanned my computer for viruses and have found none (Doubt that there are anyhow.)
I always keep it cleaned out so no problem there (gpu temps keep at 45c; cpu temps keep at 23c all under load)
Specs:
Windows Vista 64x home (eww)
2 way sli MSI GTX570 1GB GPU's (Not OC'ed)
16GB RAM
Q9550 CPU (Not OC'ed)
500GB 7200 RPM Seagate HD (SATA)
So wtf is going wrong here!? Is Vista really that big of a fail or is it just my HD failing away?
The computer doesn't freeze up, it's just slow as f**** somedays (Not all days.) Also I've switched off all the start up programs that aren't needed and that hasn't helped.
Looking into Process Explorer shows nothing outside of the norm in programs. CPU is running at 32% idle and Disk running at 100%... I can find nothing that can be causing this to happen to.
Memtest on RAM came out clean as did other hardware diagnostics.
-Thankyou for your help
