Possible hard drive issue ?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I booted one of my older rigs up and it is so slow it is unusable. It takes 10 min to boot into windows and you pretty much cant do anything in windows either its so slow once you click on something it takes 5 min to actually select the icon after you click it. I had this rig running fine 5 days ago. I have tried reformatting and worked fine for a day then booted up again and same thing. I was wondering if anyone has any insight if its the OS itself or if it is issue with some of the hardware ? I was thinking possibly Hard drive but never seen or heard of this before.I am running windows 7 and the computer is about 5 years old. Any insight would be great thank you.

My guess is that the drive is failing. When drives fail, they get super slow. Test the drive with a surface scan.
