since new hard drive, computer is very slow
Hello everyone. :)
So my computer's hard drive fried just a few months ago. After months of my brother scrapping parts including my NVIDIA video card and some cable tuners etc., I realized that the old laptop I had under my bed could be scrapped for the harddrive. My computer wiz friend installed the new harddrive and plugged everything else back in. I used DBAN to clear the harddrive and reinstalled W7 Ultimate.
Well long story short, with my old harddrive I could run the games I play, including League of Legends, World of WarCraft, Starcraft II, and Diablo III at low-medium setting. But with the new harddrive and 3 gbs or DDR2 ram my friend gave me, I cant run anything at the lowest setting possible and keep a FPS over 15. I installed my video card driver and my keyboard and mouse driver. The computer specs EXCEPT for the ram and video card are 6 years old. Also, the computer is really laggy for about 20 min after startup, with both cpus at 100%. But after that, the computer stays at low CPU usage.
Please help
I need a computer for Diablo 3 release :)
