Slow PC, Hang Ups..Desperation
Hi. First post here and I think it's a very nice forum.
I have a problem for at least a week now. Once upon a time my pc was very fast. Recently though something happened. My pc hangs for a few seconds (or even minute) not responding to any new actions.The mouse is moving though and when the hang is over, BOOM, all actions take place as if they were queued. At this time, my HDD is working at it's fullest! The hang ups happen mostly random but more often when the HDD is being accessed at a frequen basis. Even when hang ups not happen the whole system is like a pendium 2
SPECS
------
ASUS P6T
i7 920
2x3 Corsair RAM
1 WD HDD 1TB
GTS 250
Windows 7 7600
What i did:
-extensively scanned my HDD with Data Lifeguard but no errors at all!!
-scanned for virus, spyware etc etc. It's all clean now (I had one but its irrelevant).
-disabled indexing
-disabled superfetch
-change power saving options
-installed intel matrix storage management
-installed latest drivers from ASUS website
-changed HDD cables
-changes connectors
-load bios defaults
-changed from IDE to ACHI and back
The problem was little in the start then one day i unziped a BIG file at which time a BIG hang happend.After that time hang ups are far more frequent, boot up takes far longer as well as even shut down!
I can only believe its my HDD but all test I've done on it tell me it's FINE..
Thanks in advance
-edit
The exact same happens even in Safemode... or with every process closed
