Hey guys,
My laptop has started to feel very slow lately, like something is about to die. Problem is, I don't know what it is. So, I'll start off with the symptoms.
When playing cs:cz(one of the few games I can actually play), the game kind of skips about every 2 seconds. And it's not just the game, the sound does too. When i'm watching videos it sometimes does this too.
Also, when I move windows around on my screen, they leave a white trail behind them.
I'm starting to think this might be a hard drive issue since the drive is getting pretty old. The laptop is a Gateway MX6453.
Thanks for the help guys and if this sounds like a hard drive issue to you, please recommend me one(preferably really cheap
) thanks!
