Win 7 randomly slowing for no reason it seems
I've had this laptop for about 8 months now. Kept very clean, always plugged in. First thing I did was get AVG and kept it up to date. Kept Windows up to date as well. Scan regularly, disc cleanup and defrag regularly as well.
About 1 month ago it started being significantly slower than before. Quite frustrating mainly because I can't figure out why. Hard drive is about half full, no viruses according to AVG[I haven't had a virus since I got my last computer 5 years ago to the best of my knowledge]
I don't do a whole lot, play WoW and listen to music mainly. Sometimes leave Facebook or MSN on in the background as well. Used to work great. Not sure why it's slowing down.
Anyone have an ideas as to why it may be doing this? I've tried all the basics I can think of.. Thanks!
System info in my profile if needed as well
Also - when I hit Fn key and adjust volume, sometimes it will stop showing me what it's at[little pop up on the screen] and seems like I have to press it 2 or 3 times as much to get the normal volume adjustment. Bah
