Computer slow after startup
I'm having trouble with my computer's performance after it starts up. The hard drive is almost constantly active and during these periods the computer is very slow. I will try to type word documents and search the web and the text that i type will be behind. I have turned off superfetch and indexing. I have checked for viruses and malware. I even restored my computer to the factory image, and nothing helps. Eventually, whatever service/process is slowing my machine down stops and the computer works fine, but this can be hours after my computer is booted up.
I have a Dell Studio 17 with an Intel core i7 processor and 4gb of ram. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
