laptop unresponsive and laggy to the point of locking up
it was running fine a few weeks ago, then the sound became scratchy, skippy and distorted, then after that it would become, i guess you could say "lazy". i watch the HDD light all the time, and i notice now when i click on something, the HDD doesn't work (what i mean is load work, like opening a program) for up to 3 minutes, doing NOTHING. then all the sudden, it works its arse off. what is going on with this thing??? i ran windows defrag, disk cleanup, avast full system antivirus scan, and spyhunter 4 full scan and found NOTHING. chkdsk found no bad sectors. im lost. any ideas?
